About
Ami Citri’s lab seeks to define the mechanisms of selective attention, by which the brain focuses on specific information from the world around us.
Once this information has been selected, the lab strives to decipher the detailed mechanisms through which this information is encoded to form memories and lead to the development of habits, compulsions and addictions.
