Olfactory Encoding

Memory Retrieval

The Perception, Encoding, Recall Lab (PERL) focuses on the precision of recall and its emotional states.

Neural Plasticity

Perception, Encoding, Recall Lab (PERL) investigates mechanisms by which odors are encoded into memory.

We explore how olfactory stimulation influences synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus and amygdala.

Behavioral Models

Developing rigorous experimental paradigms to bridge the gap between molecular biology and cognitive function.
