The Sosa lab seeks to understand how memories are formed, stored, and retrieved at the level of single neurons, neural circuits, and systems. We are particularly interested in how memory processes flexibly adapt in response to cognitive goals, emotional states, and physiological demands on the brain and body, including the profound demand of pregnancy and the postpartum period. Our research spans in vivo optical imaging, electrophysiology, circuit manipulations, complex rodent behaviors, and computational analysis.
