Multisensory memory consolidation in hippocampal-cortical circuits in mice and human
AdaBD made easy
This project studies how different brain areas work together to encode and consolidate sensory experiences in both mice and humans. We aim to uncover how multisensory memory formation normally occurs and why it can be disrupted.
Research project
Our memories of daily life often involve multiple senses, such as sights, sounds, and spatial
information. This project investigates how the brain integrate these multisensory experiences into long-term memories. By using similar multisensory tasks in mice and humans, we will study how the cortex and hippocampus encode and consolidate multisensory experience. Understanding these fundamental principles will enable us to further explore how these processes are disrupted in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). By bridging findings across brain areas and species, this project aims at uncovering key memory mechanisms and improving our understanding of multisensory integration in both healthy and ASD brains
