Expertise

Neural basis of learning, memory and decision making in the mammalian brain.

Profile

Our research aims to understand the neural basis of memory and cognition. My lab employs a systems neuroscience approach in rodent models, in both health and disease, to investigate distributed brain networks necessary for the ability to learn, remember and make decisions. We use a combination of techniques, including behavior, simultaneous high-density electrophysiological recordings in multiple brain regions, and novel methods for real-time detection and perturbation of neural activity during behavior. We have used these experimental and computational tools to make several seminal contributions, and discovered novel coordination mechanisms in limbic – cortical networks with a role in learning and memory-guided behavior.
