Professor of neurobiology
Stanford University School of Medicine

Lisa Giocomo is professor of neurobiology and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator at Stanford University School of Medicine. Her lab focuses on neural circuits underlying spatial navigation and memory, and how the brain’s internal map of space adapts to changes in the environment and shifts with an animal’s behavior or task goals.

She earned a B.A. in psychology at Baylor University and completed her Ph.D. in neuroscience at Boston University in the lab of Michael Hasselmo. Following her doctoral work, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Norway with Edvard and May-Britt Moser. She established her own lab at Stanford in 2013.

Is it time for neuroscience to shift its focus from a computational mind to a navigating mind?

Andrea Hiott explains her navigational approach to the mind, and why now is the time to embrace seemingly paradoxical findings in neuroscience.

Human brain organoids come of age—but still have room to grow

The U.S. government has touted organoids as an alternative to animals for studying the brain. The model has improved since its debut in 2013, but scientists are still working to overcome key limitations: immaturity, consistency and the lack of vascularization.

Finding neuroheterogeneity’s sweet spot

Once thought to be detrimental to memory processing, neuronal diversity—at the right ‘Goldilocks’ dose—is a new boon to theoretical neuroscience.
