      I enjoyed Natural Sciences while studying at school, and during my degree in Biology I became very interested in the function of neurons (such as those in the brain or the one that control our muscles). And of course one of the most exciting things that neurons in the brain do is to store memories. Then I realised that there is still a lot to discover in this area of science, so that’s how I chose the topics that I am researching about.
