Welcome to the Tong Research Group!
For animals who live in an unpredictable world, the ability to process and remember their sensory environment accurately is crucial for survival. Our lab focuses broadly on how such representations form (learning) and persist (memory). Specifically, we’re interested in the role of non-cellular mechanisms, like the extracellular matrix, in long-term memory.
Undergraduate-Driven Neuroscience Research
We pair behavioural studies with neuropharmacology, immunohistochemistry, and various techniques in molecular biology to study molecular mechanisms of olfactory memory.
