For us to function as humans our memories are crucial, but we do not want to remember everything in every little detail but instead we need to extract key information enabling us to deal with future events. This processing of memories – highlighting important events, extracting overlapping, salient information and deleting unnecessary data – constructs our knowledge networks (i.e. semantic memory). In my group, we are interested in the neurobiology of semantic memory in mice, rats and humans; using molecular, electrophysiology, functional MRI and behavioral approaches to investigate these mechanisms in health and disease.

About
Lisa Genzel conducts research into the memory processes of mice, rats and humans. She consequently focuses on rodent and human sleep processes. This research is important because sleep is essential for memory consolidation and memory is crucial to human functioning.
