Dr. Ronald Davis studies the molecular and cellular underpinnings of learning and memory. Using a variety of experimental models and methods, his research program will focus on brain mechanisms that mediate forgetting, how the brain organizes memories, and the roles of genes that suppress memory formation. This research will advance our understanding of how we learn and forget, as well as how these mechanisms are altered in disease.
