Functional role of network oscillations within retrosplenial cortex for learning and memory in health and disease.

Neural circuits between the hippocampal formation (HPC), anterior thalamus, and retrosplenial cortex (RSC) are implicated in mnemonic processing in rats, mice, and humans. Our laboratory is interested in the functional role of RSC in learning and memory. Example research directions include:

1. Gating and role of RSC network oscillations in associative learning and memory. 
2. Characterization and perturbation of RSC-thalamic and RSC-HPC interactions in health and disease.
