Welcome!
The overall goal of the Center for Plasticity and Memory is to identify novel mechanisms of neural plasticity that operate in the neocortex and are critical for both remote memory and cortical plasticity. CPM is a NIMH Silvio O. Conte Center for Neuroscience Research.
We use state-of-the-art transgenic, electrophysiological and imaging approaches, including a novel genetic screen designed to identify mouse KOs and transgenics that affect remote, but not recent memory. We plan to share our results, incuding those of the mutant screen, as they become available (page under construction...)
Laboratories in the Center include:
