1.  Use a dynamite slide template. Avoid drab colors and be sure to include pictures and clip art. Use a font size that is easy to read (e.g. arial, calibri) and include minimal text on each slide. I encourage you to use photos taken in the lab - as long as you abide by the lab photo policy described in the syllabus.

​

2. After your title slide, include a background slide. Here you summarize the results of 6 peer-reviewed papers that tested rats and/or mice: 1. the effect of hippocampal lesions on stress, 2. the effect of hippocampal lesions on memory, 3. the effect of diet on the microbiome, 4. the effect of diet/microbiome on social behavior, 5. the effect of diet/microbiome on stress, and 6. the effect of diet/microbiome on pain perception. Note: if you can find a study that tested two or more of these variables, that's great. This will reduce the number of peer-reviewed articles you need.

​

3. Include an "Our Project" slide to explain what your project was about and what hypotheses were tested.

​

4. Include the following eight slides:

      1. Subjects, Materials, and Procedures for the effect of hippocampal lesions on stress and memory                 

      2.  Results of this study
      3.  Subjects, Materials, and Procedures for the effect of diet/microbiome on social behavior

      4.  Results of this study

      5.  Subjects, Materials, and Procedures for the effect of diet/microbiome on pain sensation thresholds

      6.  Results of this study

      7. Subjects, Materials, and Procedures for the effect of diet/microbiome on stressed induced BG responses

      8.  Results of this study

​

​5.  Include a Summary, Limitations, and Future Research slide. 

 

6.  Include an APA-formatted "References" slide
