About
My research is concerned with the neural mechanisms underlying learning and memory. I am interested in the nature of sensory representations, the aspects of those representations that are maintained in memory, and how a nervous system, privy only to transduced information from its sensory periphery, determines what is relevant information to keep for the future. My work uses the olfactory system as a model to study the kinds of molecular and neural changes that mediate these processes. I use behavioural paradigms, neuropharmacology, and molecular biological techniques to answer these questions.
