Come one and all!!! Once again to our cozy corner in the back room of the Sugar Maple for yet another installment of the USS!!! This month we have MCW and MASA's own Dr. Leo Fernandino coming to enlighten us on the intricate workings of the human brain!!
Can you imagine not being able to remember anything that ever happened, experiencing every minute as if it were the first one in your life? The ability to remember things we have learned and recall past experiences is so central to our lives that it is difficult to even imagine how we would be without it. Unfortunately, this ability can be severely affected in people who sustain damage to certain parts of the brain. In this talk, we will explore the brain structures and processes required for storing, retrieving and modifying different types of memories, including recent advances in the field.
Bring your questions!! Bring your friends!! Bring your brains!!!
