Learning & Memory

 

Learning and memory are critical for modifying our behavior and knowledge following experience. Learning embodies a process of everlasting change, extending across various timescales, forming experience-dependent modifications within neural-glial network structure and dynamics. Cutting-edge research at the department of neurobiology is geared towards exposing the multiple layers of memory acquisition, storage and consolidation utilizing innovative technologies to track circuit plasticity and link it to behavior. While unraveling the mysteries of the processes governing learning and memory is an important scientific endeavor, much of the effort in the school’s labs is invested in utilizing this knowledge for better understanding and treating cognitive disorders
