Michael Hasselmo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Hasselmo is a neuroscientist at Boston University.
He is known for his work on neuromodulators, particularly acetylcholine, and for his computational modelling work on the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, especially regarding the functional role of theta rhythm.
He is on the editorial board of a number of scientific journals, including Hippocampus, Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, and Neural Networks.
