Lisa Genzel conducts research on memory processes in mice, rats, and humans, focusing particularly on rodent and human sleep processes. Her research highlights the importance of sleep in memory consolidation, which is vital for human functioning. In her work, she emphasizes the processing of memories, which involves highlighting important events, extracting salient information, and deleting unnecessary data to construct knowledge networks, specifically in semantic memory. Her group is interested in the neurobiology of semantic memory across species, utilizing molecular, electrophysiological, functional MRI, and behavioral approaches to investigate the underlying mechanisms of health and disease. Genzel's research theme centers on the development of lifelong plasticity, with a dedicated focus on how sleep affects memory dynamics.
