POSTPONED: Colloquium with Kate M. Wassum, Ph.D.
ZoomOur thoughts are with those who are impacted by the Silverado Canyon and Blue Ridge Fire which are currently burning in Orange County. In light of the evacuations and lives impacted, we have decided to postpone this event. The CNLM will be hosting Dr. Kate Wassum, from UCLA's department of Psychology, in a virtual colloquium…
CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Charan Ranganath, Ph.D.
ZoomMemory at the scale of episodes: How the neocortex and hippocampus support memory for complex events Dr. Ranganath's research focuses on characterizing the psychological processes that support human memory, and their neural underpinnings. In particular, they have investigated the functions of brain regions in the prefrontal cortex and medial temporal lobes. Invite your…

CNLM Virtual Colloquium with Beth Stevens, Ph.D.
Zoom(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 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…
Sleep to feel, to think, and to remember
VirtualWe spend nearly one-third of our lives asleep. Despite its universal nature and apparent necessity, why we sleep remains largely a mystery. Sleep to feel, to think, and to remember is a virtual panel discussion featuring three UCI experts studying how sleep affects our emotions and the way we think, and how stress impacts a…
