Jason R Climer
Assistant Professor
I began my studies of the spatial memory by studying the fine timing of firing of neurons in the lab of Michael Hasselmo at Boston University. Most recently, I developed novel optical approaches as a postdoc in the lab of Daniel Dombeck at Northwestern University.
Zihan Chu
Graduate Research Assistant
I graduated from Zhejiang University with a B.S. degree in Biomedical Sciences. I’m interested in the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying memory processing and forgetting, with a focus on representational drift – the dynamic changes in neural coding over time.
To study this, I plan to use two-photon microscopy and calcium imaging to perform chronic recordings at subcellular resolution in behaving animals. Currently, I’m developing immersive virtual reality environments to advance behavioral paradigms.
