KATHLEEN JACQUERIE

Welcome to my research journey!

I am a postdoctoral researcher in Eve Marder’s Lab in Boston. I am interested in the effects of climate change on the nervous systems.

I did my PhD in computational neuroscience under the supervision of Guillaume Drion. I investigated how rest periods affect our memory consolidation. I built biophysical neurons able to switch from learning to resting phase, corresponding to a switch from tonic to burst firing, and studied the evolution of the synaptic weights. I proposed a mechanism for burst-driven late-phase plasticity.
