The encoding, segmentation, storage, and recall of sequences of events in time is a key facet of episodic memory. We use such memories to organize the flow of daily experience into units that incorporate a remarkable amount of material, the recall of which allows us to re-experience the past, imagine future outcomes, and conduct orderly thinking. The 2024 CNLM Spring Conference features speakers who will address how we make temporally integrated memories for events (TIME) across a range of different levels, approaches, and model systems.

Data Blitz Session

The program includes a data blitz session, giving graduate students and postdoctoral fellows an opportunity to briefly present their research findings. The number of data blitz presentations will be limited and will be prioritized according to registration date and also distributed to represent different labs and institutions.

Open Paper Session

In addition to presentations from trainees, we will have one “open paper” session that will provide faculty who are not speaking in the symposium sessions to deliver a slightly shorter 8-minute brief talk with 2 minutes for questions. No more than 10 slides are permitted in open paper sessions. Every effort will be made to accommodate all faculty interested in presenting open papers.

Poster Session

We invite undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and research staff to participate in the poster session. Posters will be set up in the CNLM lobby and courtyard and will promote active, informal discussions. The poster session also provides a valuable opportunity to network with colleagues.
