"The Sleeping Thalamus. Sparse Cell Coordination and Burst Diversity"
Research Interests
Thalamic circuits and their contribution to the mechanisms of learning:
- Memory formation and processing: retrieval, consolidation, schemas
- Problem solving: inference, generalization, insight
- Thalamic neuromodulators and their regulation of learning and memory
- Abnormal learning/memory conditions
