| "Genetic Dissection of Memory Circuits" |
| We have recently developed a genetic technique that allows us to specifically introduce genetic changes into neurons that are activated by behavioral stimuli. By introducing a visible marker protein we can permanently tag activated subsets of neurons creating a precise record of the activity pattern at a specific point in time. We used this approach to address questions regarding learning and memory |
