Neurons in the neocortex are bombarded with thousands of inputs representing different senses, memories of past events or internal goals.
At the Spatial Neuroscience lab, we study human path integration, spatial memory, and large-scale navigation in complex environments. Our lab
My lab focuses on conditions of brain development and injury where a treatment does not yet exist. We are creating
Our past experiences influence who we are. In the Baram lab we focus on early-life events, and especially early-life adversity
Long-term memory storage is an essential process to human life. Without long-term memory, we would not be able to remember
Throughout the brain, neurons communicate with each other through synapses, where neuronal specializations—presynaptic terminals, equipped with neurotransmitter release machineries, and
Dr. Stark’s research investigates the neural bases of human long-term memory. He uses multiple forms of MRI imaging (functional, structural,
The long-term goal of my lab is to understand how nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) regulate neural processing in auditory cortex,
