An elegant approach to neuroscience.

Learning. Memory formation & consolidation. Synaptic plasticity. Epigenetics.

Driven by Curiosity

 We use the nematode C. elegans to explore how neural circuits within an organism change while it learns and how memories of that learned behavior are encoded. We are committed to overcoming the limits of neuroscience by creating tools to non-invasively monitor real-time molecular changes in neurons and glia in live animals.
