Biography

Psychologist and PhD in Biology, Dr. Monje (Medical University of Vienna, Austria) works in Medical Neuroscience and Biological Psychology.
Using mouse models and in vitro and in vivo approaches, he studies molecular components that are also present in humans and that regulate neuritogenesis, synaptogenesis, plasticity, and which modulate cognitive-relevant brain neuronal circuits in health and disease. His most recent publication is: “miRNA-132/212 Deficiency Disrupts Selective Corticosterone Modulation of Dorsal vs. Ventral Hippocampal Metaplasticity” by Kouhnavardi, et.al., 2023, published in The International Journal of Molecular Sciences: Int J Mol Sci. 2023 May 31;24(11):9565. doi: 10.3390/ijms24119565.
