Jonathon D. Crystal studies memory and cognition in non-human animals, especially rats, to understand whether animals can form and recall episodic memories—memories of specific past events including what happened, where, and when. His work uses behavioral experiments to test ideas like 'mental time travel' and the replay of remembered events in animals, connecting these findings to questions about the evolution of memory and consciousness. He also contributes to methods and resources for studying how animals track time.
