Joel Voss is a professor in the Neurology department at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on computational neuroscience, specifically investigating the neural mechanisms underpinning memory and cognitive processes. His work explores the role of different brain regions and circuits involved in episodic and procedural memory, including the hippocampus and orbitofrontal cortex. Through innovative techniques, such as multiday Neuropixels recordings, he studies how theta oscillations and other neural dynamics influence behavior and memory connectivity in humans. His recent publications span topics such as memory reinstatement, the effect of age on neural networks, and the integration of predictive information across multiple cues. Voss’s contributions have significantly advanced our understanding of the complex interplay between different brain regions during memory formation and retrieval.
