From Fundamental Memory Mechanisms to Applied Technologies. Our lab integrates basic research on memory with the development of applied technologies:
• Memory Consolidation and Enhancement: Elucidating the fundamental mechanisms of long-term memory, with a special focus on how the locus coeruleus-hippocampus circuit enhances this process in a dopamine-dependent manner.
• Schema-based Learning: Uncovering the neural basis for integrating new information into existing knowledge structures (schemas).
• Translational Research: Leveraging VR and fMRI to bridge animal and human studies and identify universal principles of memory.
• Non-invasive Cognitive Enhancement: Designing interventions, such as physical exercise and taVNS (transcutaneous auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation), to enhance human cognition and well-being.
• Brain-Inspired Technology: Pioneering next-generation AI and personalized platforms for medicine and education based on the brain's learning principles.
