| We are seeking a candidate for a Ph.D. or a Postdoc position aimed at advancing our understanding of how memories are interconnected and the mechanisms through which new information integrates with recently encoded memories. The goal is to elucidate the dynamic organization of memory throughout the lifespan, providing insights into fundamental cognitive functions. By investigating these processes, we aim to explore the broader implications for cognitive functions such as learning and decision-making.
Moreover, our research will examine how disruptions in these cognitive processes can increase susceptibility to neuropsychiatric disorders and contribute to maladaptive behaviors in animal models. Understanding these disruptions is essential for developing potential interventions and treatments for memory-related disorders. - Cellular Nervous System, Central Nervous System, Modeling and Simulation, Sensory Systems, Systems Biology and Networks

| We aim to explore a range of cognitive impairments associated with various psychiatric and metabolic disorders in mice. Our goal is to identify the critical neural pathway connecting the hypothalamus to subcortical areas, which plays a key role in certain cognitive deficits. This project seeks not only to deepen our comprehension of the brain's intricate operations but also to lay the groundwork for precise therapeutic approaches. We will employ advanced technologies, including optogenetics, fiber photometry, and behavioral assessments, to achieve these objectives.
