Dr. Gisella Vetere, Professor and Team leader at ESPCI Paris, will present, “Decoding Memory Acquisition and Consolidation,” on Thurs., Oct. 3, at 4:15 p.m. in Wachenheim 113. She will be joined by Clément Pouget, PhD Candidate at Paris Sciences et Lettres.

Memories make up the person that we are. They are dynamic, changing day by day, requiring that our brain integrates new information with past experiences. But how are memories encoded in neural networks? How is their structure kept for a lifetime in our brain?

The main interest of the Vetere laboratory is to understand the neural basis for how an everyday experience is transformed into a long-lasting memory. Come learn about how the Vetere lab is leveraging cutting-edge techniques, such as high-resolution brain imaging, to piece together how neural cells encode different features of memory.
