Spring 2023: Can memories be disrupted by protein synthesis inhibitors?

Affiliations: Neuroscience Research Leadership
Project Leader: James Hassell
hassell.j@tamu.edu
Psychological & Brain Sciences
Faculty Mentor: Stephen Maren, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
TBA
Team Size:
4
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Opportunities may consist of becoming a full member of the research lab
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 protein synthesis inhibitors can disrupt memory processes such as consolidation or reconsolidation. If we stop the formation of new proteins within the hippocampus will this disrupt consolidating memory?
