[4] After graduation from high school, she attended Spelman College where she received a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and Mathematics.

Antoine later found that inner ear dysfunction in mice has a direct causal relationship with neurological changes that increase hyperactivity.

[6] As a Miller Postdoctoral Fellow, Antoine worked with Daniel Feldman's team to analyze four mouse models in relation to the 'signaling imbalance theory', which is a well known hypothesis about the origin of autism in the brain.

As a result, the neurons in brains of autistic people fire at a higher rate than normal, which leads to further motor disabilities, sensory issues, and additional autism traits.

They found that the difference in the signals in the autism brains is of a type that stabilizes neurons’ firing rates rather than increasing them, which is suggestive of a compensatory response.
