Welcome to the Spatial Cognition Lab!

The Spatial Cognition lab of Professor Holger Dannenberg is located in the Krasnow Institute at George Mason University. The spatial cognition lab studies neural mechanisms underlying the coding of spatial memory and spatial navigation using a combination of experimental techniques including multiple single unit recordings, optogenetics, and fiber photometry in freely behaving mice. The ultimate goal of the lab is to understand neural mechanisms of spatial memory and navigation that are often impaired in various neurological disorders.
