Which brain networks contribute to information storage across the entire lifecycle of a memory and how is information distributed within these networks? How do different brain states like <b>sleep, wake and transitional states</b> shape the architecture of memory? What is the potential of different neuromodulatory, physiological and cognitive factors for influencing memory formation and neuroplasticity? To answer these questions, we combine behavioral paradigms with <b>multimodal neuroimaging methods (fMRI, dwMRI, sMRI, EEG) and multivariate analysis techniques</b>.
