We study memory processing and spatial navigation
Understanding how animals use memories to guide their behavior helps us map the basic operations of memory systems in the brain.
How do we remember some of the daily events in our life, and why do we forget others?
We want to understand how memories guide behavior
How do we process memories? How do we recall the route that we have to travel to get from home to work, even when faced with a road block? How do we learn from our experiences and use the acquired knowledge to inform our future decisions?
We unravel how the mammalian brain represents, stores and processes information
Understanding how animals use memories to guide their behavior helps us to map the basic operations of memory systems in the brain.
It will also provide us with clues on where these systems fail in diseases such as Alzheimer’s, epilepsy or different sleep disorders.
