Neural Mechanisms of Memory and Cognition
October 16, 2019 - 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Picower Institute for Learning and Memory
Fall 2019 Symposium
Neural Mechanisms of Memory and Cognition
Wednesday, October 16, 2019 | 9:00am – 5:00pm
MIT Building 46, Singleton Auditorium (46-3002)
The Picower Institute is a community of scientists dedicated to understanding the mechanisms that drive learning and memory and related functions such as cognition, emotion, perception and consciousness. We explore the brain at multiple scales, from genes and molecules, to cells and synapses, to circuits and systems, producing novel insights into how disruptions in these mechanisms can lead to developmental, psychiatric or neurodegenerative disease.
In keeping with that mission, the theme of the symposium is “Neural Mechanisms of Memory and Cognition.”
