PROMEMO - CENTER FOR PROTEINS IN MEMORY

Studying fundamental traits of learning and memory in healthy and diseased brains
A Danish National Research Foundation Center of Excellence

About PROMEMO

PROMEMO aims to identify and understand the function of memory-associated proteins that determines the persistence of a memory.

The PROMEMO "power button"

Switching memory "on" and "off" - generation and removal of an associative memory by changing synaptic strength (inducing LTD and LTP).

Approach & Methodologies

Spanning cutting-edge techniques in proteomics, complex structural biology, optogenetic memory engineering, electrophysiology, and high-resolution brain imaging.
