Department Functional Architecture of Memory

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) of the brain is crucial for memory. Damage to this brain region leads to severe memory deficits as seen in aging or in patients with amnesia.

The focus of our research is to tease apart the specific contribution of the different areas of the MTL to the recall of recent and very remote memories in terms spatial and non-spatial (time, objects) information processing. The originality of our approach is to adapt to rodents standard behavioral paradigms used in humans and to combine them with optogenetics, high-resolution neural activity mapping, 9.4T fMRI in awake rats or in-vivo/in-vitro electrophysiology with the aim of bridging further human and animal memory.

    Head

    After a PhD on the effect of chronic stress on memory function at the MPI in Munich, Germany (Holsboer/ Steckler lab), Magdalena Sauvage did postdocs at MIT (Graybiel lab) and Boston University (Eichenbaum lab), followed by a Research Assistant Professorship in Eichenbaum lab in Boston USA and an Associate Professorship at the RUB (W2; Bochum, Germany).

    Since 2016 Professor Sauvage has headed the Functional Architecture of Memory Department and is one of the co-directors of the LIN.

    The originality of our approach is an innovative experimental approach combining a number of different techniques. We combine behavioral testing with other methods such as lesions, high-resolution neuroanatomical imaging and optogenetic techniques, as well as mutagenesis and in-vivo electrophysiology.

    Projects

    Recently, we have developed the first cognitive paradigm for awake rodents that can be performed during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In September 2018, we inaugurated a 9.4 Tesla small animal scanner and laboratory at LIN in collaboration with Eike Budinger.

    We have also conducted a behavioral study with humans in order to better characterize memory deficits, for example in patients with posttraumatic disorders. In cooperation with Emrah Düzel from the DZNE Magdeburg, we are involved in experiments with the 7 Tesla magnetic resonance tomograph.

    Within the Collaborative Research Centre 874, we dealt with the neuronal basis for familiarity whereas within the framework of the Collaborative Research Centre 779 we characterise newly identified networks in the hippocampus attributed to spatial and non-spatial memory.

     

    Our main research focus:

    • Characterization of the specific role of the MTL areas in spatial or non-spatial recognition memory depending on visual or olfactory sensory modalities (behavior, brain lesion and neuroanatomical brain imaging)
    • Evaluation of memory performance and study of the reorganization of the MTL areas following brain injury in models of amnesia (behavior, brain lesion and neuroanatomical brain imaging)
    • Characterization of memory performance and brain alterations in models of aging (behavior and neuroanatomical brain imaging)
    • Development of behavioral translational memory paradigms and fMRI cognitive translational paradigms in awake rodents (behavior, stereotactic surgery, animal fMRI)
  • Techniques

    Techniques

    We use memory tests that can be equally used in humans and animals.

    The originality of our approach is an innovative experimental approach combining a number of different techniques. We combine behavioral testing with other methods such as lesions, high-resolution neuroanatomical imaging and optogenetic techniques, as well as mutagenesis and in-vivo electrophysiology.

    We are currently elaborating our newly developed first cognitive paradigm for awake rodents in fMRI aiming at increasing the translation of human and rodent memory processes.

    Finally, we conduct behavioral human studies aiming at further characterizing memory deficits seen in depressive and patients suffering from posttraumatic disorders.


    Use of the mentioned techniques:

    • Characterization of the specific role of the MTL areas in spatial or non-spatial recognition memory depending on visual or olfactory sensory modalities (behavior, brain lesion and neuroanatomical brain imaging)
    • Evaluation of memory performance and study of the reorganization of the MTL areas following brain injury in models of amnesia (behavior, brain lesion and neuroanatomical brain imaging)
    • Characterization of memory performance and brain alterations in models of aging (behavior and neuroanatomical brain imaging)
    • Development of behavioral translational memory paradigms and fMRI cognitive translational paradigms in awake rodents (behavior, stereotactic surgery, animal fMRI

  • Conference series “Functional Architecture of Memory”

    Conference series “Functional Architecture of Memory”

    The conference series focuses on bringing new insights on major controversies in recognition memory as well as bridging further human and animal memory. The event is organized by our department in a two-year cycle.

    Twenty of the world's leading experts in medial temporal lobe research and memory function will discuss their findings from behavioral studies, imaging techniques, electrophysiology, mutagenesis, and computer techniques.

    All relevant information will be available in time under this link: https://www.lin-magdeburg.de/forschung/konferenzen/functional-architecture-of-memory

    The next FAM conference will probably take place in May 2024.
