Meet Esteban 

I’m a master’s student in neuroscience in the department of Kinesiology. I did my BSc in Kinesiology, where, through my minor in Medical Physiology, I developed an appreciation for the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system. My research interests include the concept of neuroplasticity, specifically in the recovery period following brain injury. I hope to further understand the relationship between brain regions in the integration of sensory input, and how it affects motor control. 

Which is more versatile, pasta or potatoes? 

Potatoes are the more versatile food since they can be prepared to taste differently depending on the form, and can be had for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. 

If you were to choose your superpower, what would it be?  

Control over the natural elements. 

If you could spend the rest of your life doing only one thing, what would it be?

Hanging out by the beach.
