Memory Storage by Engram Cell Connectivity [ 2017 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Lucy Palmer (Principal investigator)

Brief description How are memories stored in the brain? We know much about the brain regions involved in memory storage but we know little or nothing about how individual memories are represented and stored within those brain areas. The purpose of this project is to label and manipulate the specific subsets of brain cells that store individual memories. We will label memory-bearing cells in multiple brain regions and then ask how the connections between those cells encode learned information in the brain.
