Research Synopsis
Research in the Josselyn lab is dedicated to understanding how the brain acquires, stores and uses information. Several human disorders (ranging from autism spectrum disorder to Alzheimer’s disease) may stem from disrupted information processing. Therefore, this basic knowledge is not only critical for understanding normal brain function, but also vital for the development of new treatment strategies for many brain disorders. In our studies we typically examine memory in mice using a range of techniques from molecular biology, optogenetics, in vivo imaging and spatial transcriptomics.
