Tracing the Trail: From Memory to Neurons | In Kannada
Our world is created by memories. In order to unlock the mysteries of memory, we must look at the brain, which possesses an astounding and vast network of innumerable neurons. How do these neural networks aid in building, collecting, and erasing memories? In this talk, Ravi Muddashetty pondered upon the meaning of memory at the level of the brain, neurons, and atoms.
About the Neuroscientist
Ravi Muddashetty got his Ph.D. from the University of Muenster, Germany and pursued his major postdoctoral work at Emory University, Atlanta. Muddashetty’s lab at the Centre for Brain Research, Indian Institute of Science, is primarily interested in understanding the regulation of activity-mediated protein synthesis in neurons and how it affects the development and functioning of the nervous system. The lab is keen to elucidate the link between synaptic signalling, energy metabolism, activity-mediated protein synthesis and their integration in shaping synaptic function in health and diseases. In order to achieve this goal, the lab focuses on neurodevelopmental disorder Fragile X Syndrome and neurodegenerative disorder Alzheimer’s Disease.
