Mark Plitt is a 4th year graduate student in Lisa Giocomo's lab. He is studying the cellular and systems mechanisms of memory formation and spatial navigation. In his research, he combines experimental methods with computational and statistical modeling to understand how animals form and recall memories. In the future, Mark would like his work to help close the gap between cellular and systems level descriptions of neural phenomena.
