Thomas Heinbockel

Howard University United States of America

Dr. Thomas Heinbockel studied biology at the Philipps University, Marburg, Germany. His studies of the brain started during his M.S. thesis work at the Max-Planck-Institute for Behavioral Physiology, Starnberg/Seewiesen, Germany. Dr. Heinbockel earned a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. After graduating, he worked as a Research Associate at the Institute of Physiology, Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany. Dr. Heinbockel presently serves as a Professor in the Department of Anatomy, at Howard University College of Medicine. He holds an adjunct faculty position in both the Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology and the Department of Physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Heinbockel's research is focused on understanding how the brain processes information as it relates to neurological and psychiatric disorders. His laboratory at Howard University concentrates on topics such as drug development, organization of the olfactory and limbic systems, and neural signaling and synaptic transmission in the central nervous system.

Latest work with IntechOpen by Thomas Heinbockel

This book is dedicated to “learning and memory,” a concept at the heart of neuroscience. Learning is about acquiring knowledge and skills, forming memories, and how behavior changes based on past experiences. Learning is closely related to memory. Memory is about the recall and expression of what one has learned. This book presents contributions to learning and memory, ranging from molecular, cellular, anatomical, developmental, and systems to disease-oriented studies. As such, the book provides a gateway for newly interested investigators and serves as a resource for seasoned researchers of learning and memory. Targeted at students and researchers in biological, medical, and behavioral disciplines, this book offers an overview of the work that is being done in this field and highlights any gaps and areas that would benefit from further exploration. Individual chapters focus on research advances in different brain regions and experimental models. In addition, the book will contribute to the training of current and future neuroscientists.
