Stephen Glasgow is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Brock University. His research focuses on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying memory formation and consolidation. He investigates how various forms of information are encoded within the brain and the changes that occur at synaptic sites during learning processes. His lab's major interests include synaptic plasticity and the molecular mechanisms that contribute to learning and memory, particularly in the context of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Glasgow's work emphasizes understanding the fundamental processes that define experience and memory, as well as how these processes can be disrupted in various disease states. By studying the guidance cue proteins that influence synaptic connections, he aims to shed light on the relationship between neural development and adult brain plasticity, particularly in the hippocampus, a critical region for memory.
