Team Needs:

Neuroscience background is preferable. Work in wet lab setting that may require cryostat slicing, histology, and making solutions. Work with animals is preferable, including behavioral testing, surgical procedures, and drug infusions into animals. A willingness to become familiar with learning and memory literature for background. |

Description:
|
Context, what, where, and when, is encoded in the hippocampus. We want to understand how the prefrontal cortex, thalamus, and hippocampus contribute to learning and memory. If we temporarily inhibit one of these areas of the brain how does that change the ability to encode, consolidate, and recall memories? |
