Biography

Wayne Sossin is a Professor at McGill University in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery and the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology. His research focuses on the biochemical changes associated with learning and memory, particularly how molecular memory traces underlie behavioral memories. His laboratory utilizes the simple nervous system of Aplysia to examine how behavioral memory is encoded through changes in synaptic strength in identified neurons. Through modern imaging techniques and electrophysiology, his work investigates the underlying molecular basis of memory, including the role of persistent kinases in regulating the translation of new proteins. His research has contributed to a deeper understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders and plasticity within the nervous system.
