Chantal Stern, D.Phil.
Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
Hippocampal-prefrontal interactions for context-dependent learning and memory The CNLM will be hosting Dr. Chantal Stern, Professor of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Boston University, in a colloquium where she will present her latest research. This year, the series will be held in a virtual format with some speakers presenting in-person as well. We will keep registered participants updated on the possibility of an in-person event as the situation with COVID-19 evolves.

Lara Rangel, Ph.D.
Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
The CNLM will be hosting Dr. Lara Rangel, Associate Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego in a colloquium where she will present her latest research. The flexible coordination of hippocampal spiking activity in rhythms During successful computation, brain regions must have an efficient method for filtering information from multiple sources and coordinating communication with other regions. A great system for examining this is the hippocampus, a brain structure critical for learning and memory that must integrate and…

Duane Watson, Ph.D.
Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
Understanding the link between language experience and language processing The CNLM will be hosting Duane Watson, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology and Human Development at Vanderbilt University, in a colloquium where he will present his latest research. Abstract: A speaker's language environment plays an important role in language use. The language environment is critical for language learning and vocabulary growth in children, and in predicting the difficulty of processing words and sentences in adults. In this talk I will present a set of…

2022 Spring Conference
Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
Since 1982, the CNLM has hosted an annual scientific conference in the spring to discuss recent advances in the field and launch new collaborations and synergies. The conferences include several themed symposia, short presentations by trainees, panel discussions, and keynote lectures. It is a crucial scientific development opportunity for students and postdocs as well as a faculty. Attendance is by invitation only (except for the triennial international conference – see 2018 below), and the program is developed by a committee…

Juliet Davidow, Ph.D.
Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
Adolescent learning and goal-directed behavior The CNLM will be hosting Juliet Davidow, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University, in a colloquium where she will present her latest research. Abstract: Adolescence is a time of dynamic psychological and brain development. Previous research has shown that normative shifts in motivational processes during adolescence can relate to negative outcomes from risky actions, driven by biased interactions among the brain’s striatocortical circuitry. However, these brain systems support a range of functions, including learning and…
