The Heys Lab studies the neural circuit and synaptic basis of episodic memory.
What we do
The Heys Lab investigates the neural underpinnings of learning and memory. We focus on how circuits in the medial temporal lobe, including the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, form and recall memories of space and time. Our long-term goal is to understand the neural basis of these important brain functions and how they become dysregulated in neurodegenerative diseases.
