Spruston and his team use a combination of approaches \u0026ndash; including a variety of imaging methods, next-generation RNA sequencing, in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology, and behavior \u0026ndash; to study the diversity of cell types in the mouse hippocampus. Spruston\u0026rsquo;s research has implications for understanding how memories are stored and recalled, as well as diseases that affect these processes.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis presentation can be seen via \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/bluejeans.com\/824485104\/\u0022\u003EBlueJeans\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u201cDeconstructing Memory Circuits at Cell Type-specific Resolution\u201d - Nelson Spruston, Ph.D. - Howard Hughes Medical Institute"}],"uid":"27349","created_gmt":"2018-12-17 17:44:42","changed_gmt":"2018-12-17 17:49:34","author":"Floyd Wood","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-01-28T11:15:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2019-01-28T12:15:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-01-28T12:15:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-01-28 16:15:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-01-28 17:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-01-28 17:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.neuro.gatech.edu","title":"GT Neuro"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.hhmi.org\/scientists\/nelson-spruston","title":"Spruston profile"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
