Biography
The dynamic formation and consolidation of neuronal ensembles with correlated activity is thought to be fundamental for learning and memory, yet the underlying cellular and network mechanisms are not well understood. Regulation of the intrinsic properties of individual neurons, affecting integration of patterned synaptic input arising from ensemble activity, may play a role in the process.
Research Interest
Generation of memory-encoding microcircuits in the hippocampus.
