First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM), helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Eleftheria Pervolaraki is first author on ‘ Insoluble Aβ overexpression in an App knock-in mouse model alters microstructure and gamma oscillations in the prefrontal cortex, affecting anxiety-related behaviours ’, published in DMM. Eleftheria conducted the research described in this article while a Research Fellow at the School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Leeds, UK.
