Ausra Saudargiene, PhD


Coordinator, Neuroscience Institute, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kaunas, Lithuania

The Computational Neuroscience group, headed by Prof. Ausra Saudargiene, focuses on computational modeling of synaptic plasticity in hippocampus and cortex in health and in neurodegenerative disorders. Prof. Ausra Saudargiene developed biophysical and molecular models of synaptic plasticity in hippocampus and cortex, analyzed memory encoding and retrieval in hippocampal CA1 microcircuit.
