Our field of research is cognitive and behavioral neuroscience. My group uses mouse models to gain a better understanding of the role of the hippocampus in the control of behavior under normal and disease conditions. To this end we are also developing new approaches for automated high throughput analysis of behavior in the home cage. A further line of research investigates the effects of environment and exercise on hippocampal plasticity and cognitive function.
