Cathrin Canto

Cathrin Canto is a Researcher at Erasmus MC specializing in Neurosciences. Her work focuses on cerebellar development, associative learning mechanisms, and neural plasticity.

• Cerebellar development in humans and rodents
• Associative learning in cerebellar nuclei
• Role of perineuronal nets in memory formation
• REM sleep and neural activity correlations

Cerebellar plasticity and associative learning are central to her publications, with recent studies exploring intrauterine insults' impact on neurodevelopment and synaptic mechanisms in motor learning. Her research spans zebrafish models, human developmental disorders, and sleep-related neural processes.

Key collaborations include work with De Zeeuw, C. I. and colleagues on topics like interposed nucleus function and eyeblink conditioning. Her work has been cited extensively, with notable metrics including 74 citations for her 2020 study on perineuronal nets.
