Molecular basis of learning
Molecular basis of learning
We focus on exploring the cellular, synaptic, and molecular mechanisms underlying physiologically relevant synaptic plasticity mechanisms using a combinatorial approach including behaviour, patch-clamp synaptic electrophysiology, FRET-biosensors, and two-photon fluorescent lifetime imaging in rodent models. We are also interested in understanding how these mechanisms are altered in neurodevelopmental diseases using transgenic animal models and patient-derived neurons.

Memories form through dynamic neural networks called engrams, integrating sensory inputs over time via behavioral timescale learning. Long-term potentiation (LTP) strengthens synaptic connections in the hippocampus, driven by repeated neuronal firing and calcium-dependent molecular changes. To know more click here
