A series hosted by Epilepsy Research Center Molly Huntsman, PhD

The CNLM Colloquium Series, supported by the Thomas Henry Curtis Fund, brings learning and memory scientists from around the world to UC Irvine.

The 2019 CNLM Spring meeting will feature presentations in the form of symposia, data blitzs, open papers and a keynote lecture.

Seminar Abstract:  National calls to improve undergraduate STEM education have emphasized the importance of undergraduate research experiences. Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences, or CUREs, involve groups of students in addressing research problems or questions in the context of a class, and have been proposed as scalable ways of involving undergraduates in research. This seminar will offer…

Hippocampal Inhibition, Interference and Indexing We have previously demonstrated an important role for adult-born dentate granule cells in resolution of memory interference in adulthood and aging.  These studies have motivated assessment of the neural circuit mechanisms by which dentate granule cells modulate memory interference to dictate discrimination and generalization.  I will discuss ongoing efforts interrogating…

 Epilepsy Research for the New Millennium - A Zebrafish Story   JOIN US as we host an epilepsy research seminar open to the entire UC Irvine community. Dr. Baraban is a basic neuroscientist with research interests in drug discovery, precision medicine & neurodevelopmental disorders. 

Gene expression and connectivity reveal the multiscale organization of mouse hippocampal networks Many studies have described structural and functional heterogeneity across the hippocampus, but different fields of neuroscience (behavioral, anatomical, and gene expression studies) have produced disparate views of hippocampal organization. To help bridge the gaps between these data, we analyzed and mapped mouse gene…

The UCI EpiCenter and Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology present Dr. Aaron Milstein, Ph.D from the Department of Neurology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Hosted by Tallie Z. Baram, Ph.D., Dr. Milstein will present, "Neural circuit mechanisms of rapid associative learning" on Tuesday, June 4 at 4 p.m. in the 1st floor conference…

Dr. Tam is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine and a Geriatrician at UC Irvine and recognized as a Physician of Excellence by the Orange County Medical Association. He specializes in geriatric neurology and serves as principal investigator for two…

UCI Mind Seminar Dr. Ikezu's Laboratory of Molecular NeuroTherapeutics mainly focuses on neuroimmune cell-mediated regulations of neuronal function, neurogenesis, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration. In particular, we are interested in how the innate immune-related molecules in the central nervous system (CNS) influences the pathology and progression of select neurodegenerative disorders e.g. Alzheimer’s Disease, frontotemporal dementia and autism…
