The Neuroplasticity and Learning team is formed by researchers interested in learning theory and psychobiology. We all share our concern for investigating the experience-dependent plastic changes in brain circuitry which support long-lasting changes in behaviour. Our research efforts are aimed not only to gain insight into the neural basis of learning but also to develop biologically acceptable theoretical models of learning.

Since neural plasticity underlying learning and memory occurs in a changing brain throughout the life span and can be altered by injury, the group is also interested both in a wide developmental approach and also in exploring functional recovery after brain damage and aging.
