Craig Myrum

Craig Myrum is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Loyola University Maryland, focusing on neurobiological mechanisms underlying cognitive aging. His research integrates molecular genetics, behavioral neuroscience, and systems-level analysis to study age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative processes.

• Specializes in the Arc gene—critical for long-term memory formation
• Investigates interactions between aging, memory performance, and sleep quality
• Utilizes rat models to characterize neurobiological substrates of aging

Recent work explores the epigenetic regulation of Arc in aging and cortical network dynamics linked to cognitive outcomes. Publications span molecular neurobiology, structural biology, and systems neuroscience.
