Elizabeth Gould is the Dorman T. Warren Professor of Neuroscience at Princeton University, where she also serves as the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Her research focuses on understanding how brain plasticity contributes to behavioral development in adulthood. She investigates the mechanisms of structural plasticity, neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, and glial reactivity, as well as the role of the extracellular matrix in these processes. Her work also explores the contributions of neuronal oscillations to behavioral functions in the hippocampus, including both social and non-social memory, and avoidance behavior. Through various methods including experience manipulations, genetic modifications, and hormone treatments, she examines the mechanisms of plasticity to improve understanding of how behavior can change.
