He has studied the molecular mechanisms of neuronal plasticity underlying memory consolidation and updating. In addition, he and his research team showed that different dopaminergic neural circuits regulate various types of recognition memories. Lately, he has been interested in the early detection of cognitive decline using animal models for Alzheimer's disease.
