Adam Kepecs, Ph.D.
Irvine Center for Addiction Neuroscience
Dr. Kepecs' lab studies the neurobiological principles underlying cognition and decision-making. Using state-of-the-art technologies, his team interrogates neural circuits in rodents as they perform a task, validating their findings with analogous tasks in humans. The Kepecs' lab hopes to define the neural circuits underlying decisions that will inform the development of new therapies for psychiatric [...]

CNLM Colloquium: Robert Hunt, Ph.D.
Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
Interneurons and the control of memory precision Dr. Hunt's lab takes a cross-disciplinary approach to study the neural circuit basis of brain development and injury. Their research goals are to discover precisely how the nervous system is changed in neurodevelopment disorders or by traumatic brain injury and to use this information to develop new therapies.

CNLM Colloquium: Autumn S. Ivy, Ph.D.
Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
Exercise during early life enables memory and synaptic plasticity: role of the epigenome The Ivy lab investigates underlying mechanisms of early-life exercise influencing the structure and function of the developing brain. With a focus on learning and memory, we use mouse models to uncover dynamic alterations in gene expression, chromatin modifications, and synaptic activity resulting [...]
