Biography
Our research group studies the neurobiology of memory, with a sharp focus on mechanisms involved in memory maintenance and forgetting. We investigate these phenomena from a systems perspective, using a variety of techniques and organisms; for example, we conduct behavioral studies in genetically modified Drosophila melanogaster, manipulate pharmacologically neurons in specific brain areas in rodents, and assess memory in humans using computer-based tasks. In collaborative projects, our group participates in studies exploring dysfunctions of memory processes in conditions such as Fragile X, autism, or Alzheimer’s disease.
