    Biographical Sketch

    I received my master's degree in Biology in 1991 (Univ. of Leiden; specializations in Medical Biology and Neurobiology). Over the following 3 years I worked on growth factor-induced neural plasticity (Inst. of Neurobiology, Rome, with L. Aloe and R. Levi-Montalcini) and NMDA receptor plasticity (Univ. of Amsterdam, with W. Kamphuis and F. Lopez Da Silva). I obtained my PhD in 2000 (Univ. of Groningen), developing an animal model that implicates abnormal mediotemporal lobe (MTL) development in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, and links cognitive symptomatology to MTL pathology (with J. Korf).

    In 1999, I joined the Brain and Cognition dept. at the University of Amsterdam, to further investigate the relation between MTL structure and function through neural network modelling (with J. Murre and M. Meeter). These models were, moreover, used to assess the relation between MTL abnormalities and cognitive dysfunction in several disorders, including schizophrenia, depression and amnesia.

    In 2002 I left the department, to work as team leader and cognition specialist in schizophrenia drug discovery, at Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical R&D. In 2004 I returned to my present affiliation and memory research, using imaging techniques to probe the human brain.

    I have been awarded several personal research grants, including a VIDI grant, and have published widely in the fields of memory, schizophrenia, neural network modelling and the role of sleep in memory reorganisation.

     

    Research theme

    The main goal of the 'Memory and Sleep' group is to understand memory processes and their neural underpinnings. We study these processes not only in the awake brain, but also during sleep. Indeed, it appears that when the brain is asleep, and relatively insensitive to external stimuli, processing of stored memories continues. Such 'offline' processing is of great importance to awake functioning.

     

    Specific research topics

    A long-time topic concerns the reorganisation of memory over time and sleep. Within this program we investigate post-encoding memory processes (e.g. consolidation, generalisation, recombination, emotional down-tuning), their neural underpinnings, and their differential dependence on sleep and wake states. Clinically oriented studies concern the characterization of memory processing deficits or sleep problems in psychological and neurological disorders. Furthermore, we investigate sleep problems as a risk factor in the aetiology of affective disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. We adopt a multi-disciplinary approach, involving experimentation supported by cutting edge electrophysiological and MRI-based techniques, as well as computational modelling, to bridge the gap between brain and behaviour.

    Fundamental topics

    - Mediotemporal lobe computations underlying memory function

    - From episodic memories to general knowledge

    - Tracing memory reactivation in the sleeping brain

    - Memory implantation during sleep

    - Oscillatory dynamics of the sleeping brain

    - Local sleep phenomena and twilight states

    - Constructive (i.e. creative) processing and problem solving during sleep

    - Interplay between sleep and emotion

    Clinical topics

    - Role of sleep problems in PTSD and other affective disorders

    - Characterising sleep abnormalities in post-traumatic stress disorder

    - Are sleep problems related to maladaptive emotional memory processing?

    - Are sleep problems related to maladaptive emotional regulation?
