Dylan Layfield studies how the brain supports spatial memory, using rats to examine the role of the hippocampus (a brain region central to memory and navigation) and chemical signaling systems like acetylcholine. A recurring theme in this work is how specific behaviors, such as rearing up on the hind legs, relate to memory processing and brain activity.
