Our goal is to understand how animals learn and how new information is stored in the brain. In particular, we study plastic changes in neural circuits due to social interactions and social learning. We use mice as a study model and an interdisciplinary approach, including behavior analysis techniques, histology and manipulation of neuronal activity with optogenetics and chemogenetics, among others.

Loved the drawings of rats and mice in this website? Some are Banksy's, and the others, anonymous street art :)
