Synaptic and circuit mechanisms of memory formation
At our laboratory we are interested in the development, function and plasticity of neuronal circuits. More specifically, we would like to know how Man is able to store memories over long periods of time. This is fundamental in order to understand the human mind: memories of past experiences shape our personalities and influence our current perception.
