CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Alicia Izquierdo, Ph.D.
Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
The CNLM will be hosting Dr. Alicia Izquierdo, from the University of California, Los Angeles Department of Psychology, in a virtual colloquium where she will present her latest research. Frontocortical circuits in reward learning and choice under uncertainty Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) have been assigned various overlapping roles ranging from learning and responding to reward, signaling value and uncertainty, and supporting economic decisions, to name a few. Both of these regions share reciprocal anatomical connections with…

CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Kate M. Wassum, Ph.D.
Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
Amygdala-cortical circuitry in reward learning and pursuit To make adaptive decisions we must cast ourselves into the future and consider the outcomes of our potential choices. This prospective consideration is informed by our memories. I will discuss our lab’s recent work investigating the neural circuits responsible for encoding, updating, and retrieving reward memories for use in the considerations underlying decision making. We have taken a multifaceted approach to these investigations, combining recording, modern circuit dissection, and behavioral tools. Our results…

UCI Virtual Brain Camp
Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
Summer 2021 will feature TWO Brain Camp sessions! Session 1: June 28 - July 9 (for middle schoolers) Session 2: July 19 - July 30 (for high schoolers) Due to the COVID pandemic and the university closures, we will be hosting this year's camp remotely. The UCI CNLM has been hosting virtual programs for K-12 children for nearly one year and we are designing an engaging, stimulating and rewarding experience for this year's brain camp participants. Students should expect to…
