Biography
Armin Stelzer is Associate Professor in the department of Physiology and Pharmacology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, United States of America.
Research Interest
Our lab studies mechanisms of activity-dependent plasticity of the central nervous system. Plasticity represents a modification of cellular and population activity in response to activation in certain brain areas. The main focus is the study of underlying mechanisms of a model of learning and memory, called long-term potentiation (LTP).
