Neural Circuits for Learning and Memory

Organization and representation of memories

Our goal is to find a mechanistic explanation for how experiences of our everyday life are learned, stored, and utilized by the brain to guide our future behaviors. To this aim, the lab employs and develops state-of-the-art techniques, including in vivo functional imaging and electrophysiological recordings, pharmacological and optogenetic interventions, as well as molecular tools for accessing and identifying specific neuron types.
