CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Beth Stevens, Ph.D.
(Re) Defining Myeloid Cell States and Function in Alzheimer’s Disease Emerging evidence from genetic association studies shows that dysregulation of the brain’s immune system plays a key role in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative disease. Our research aims to identify and validate disease mechanisms informed by human genetics and identify functional and mechanistic markers…
CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Alicia Izquierdo, Ph.D.
ZoomThe 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…
CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Kate M. Wassum, Ph.D.
ZoomAmygdala-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…

Memory: It’s About Time Virtual Conference
May 27 & 28, 2021 9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Memories are the record of our experiences, but they also shape them. We now know that memory recall is a fundamentally constructive process, reassembling multiple views of past experience to interpret the present and imagine the future. The three symposia for this year's Learning and…
