For more than 25 years, Gluck has been unlocking the doors of the hippocampus to gain a better understanding of how it interacts with different parts of the brain to support learning and memory. With Rutgers co-researcher Catherine E. Meyers, he has developed sophisticated computational models to show how the hippocampus cooperates with other brain regions to determine how new information should be encoded and stored throughout the brain. Like a clearing house, the hippocampus determines where to send different information for further processing and encoding. Through those models and other tools, Gluck also is helping to provide new insight into memory, learning and behavioral disorders associated with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy and other forms of brain injury. Research Interest: Learning and Memory, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's
