Dr Tanja Fuchsberger

Post-doctoral Associate and Researcher Co-Investigator.

Research

The main focus of my research is to understand how information is stored in the brain. I investigate the effects of neuromodulators on synaptic transmission and plasticity, and on learning and memory. In my current postdoctoral project I study the plasticity rules and underlying molecular mechanisms of reactivation-induced long-term memory in the hippocampus.
