Absent- doctor's appointment

I did some preliminary reading (ncbi pmc articles) on my topic (neural mechanisms of performance anxiety) mostly to get background information and possibly find a niche I could start with:                https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4322702/                https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3684250/ I looked for possible mentors in the department of neuroscience at UT Southwestern, since I could do lab research as part of my thesis, and submitted a mentor request form.
