  Research Interest

  Our laboratory uses electrophysiological techniques to study the mechanisms of synaptic transmission and plasticity in the mammalian hippocampus. One of the main focuses in the lab is in the study of synaptic long-term potentiation (LTP). LTP is the persistent increase in synaptic strength that occurs after a period of heavy activity in a synaptic connection. It is the most widely studied and compelling model for mechanisms underlying memory formation in the mammalian central nervous system.
