About Michael Yassa
I am interested in the neural mechanisms underlying memory function in the human medial temporal lobe (MTL). My lab\'s approach examines these mechanisms in young and healthy older adults, as well as cognitively impaired patients, using neuroimaging and experimental psychology methods. My laboratory\'s research is multidisciplinary and is guided by animal and computational models of memory. Much of the work attempts to tie together work in the rodent with work in the human. For more information visit my lab website at yassalab.orgI am also an entrepreneur and writer. I have co-founded several companies in the last few years, including Augnition Labs and Enthorin Therapeutics. I also have a passion for writing, about all sorts of topics, from neuroscience to higher education policy. Follow me on Medium.
