Katherine Prater

Katie Prater graduated from Scripps College with a BA in neuroscience in 2006. She spent the next three years at the FIND lab where she was mentored by Mike and others in developing her skills in fMRI acquisition and analysis. During her time in the lab she developed an interest in how network interactions play a role in anxiety disorders and the interaction of emotion and cognition through her collaborations with Mike and Amit. Katie is currently a graduate student at the University of Michigan Neuroscience Program where she is working on obtaining a PhD using translational methods to explore anxiety in both rats and humans.
