"Translational Control in Memory and Brain Disorders"

Dr. Klann is interested in the molecular basis of cognition. His research is focused on the molecular mechanisms underlying activity-dependent, long-lasting changes in neuronal function, and whether these mechanisms play a role in complex behaviors, including cognition. He is especially interested in studying how molecular signaling and translation affects synaptic plasticity, and behavior in mouse models of developmental disability, autism, aging, and Alzheimer's disease.
