A trainee-specific, data-blitz style event for memory researchers in the Boston area. Our goal is to bring together young minds who study memory at various levels (human, non-human, computational, etc.) to exchange knowledge and inspire each other. In particular, we want to foster cross talk between the diverse memory labs in the area. We also want to give trainees the opportunity to practice presenting their work in a professional format and also just to get to know each other better.
Primarily interested in the differences between negative and positive memory formation, consolidation, and retrieval. More specifically, how sensory processing regions support negative memory retrieval and the subjective sense of memory re-experiencing.
I am currently completing my PhD at Brandeis University. I am studying preventive and compensatory strategies for age-related memory loss, including overlap between self and emotion.
I am a 3rd year graduate student in Dr. Maureen Ritchey's Memory Modulation Lab at Boston College. My research interests focus on how human episodic memory is modulated by context and emotion.
Completed my PhD in Germany; currently a post-doc in Amar Sahay’s lab at the Center for Regenerative Medicine, at Harvard / MGH. I am interested in circuit plasticity mechanisms in recent and remote memory in adult and aged rodents.
I completed my PhD in the Colgin Lab at UT Austin, currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the Burwell Lab at Brown University. I'm interested in how the entorhinal, perirhinal and postrhinal cortex contribute to learning and memory.
Currently doing my masters at Harvard. Working as a technician at Boston University in the Ramirez Lab. I am interested in how neurons in the hippocampus code for valence at an anatomic and genetic level and how this is manifested behaviorally.
I completed my PhD in the Drew Lab at UT Austin and am currently a postdoc in the Shansky Lab at Northeastern University. I am interested in sex differences in how the ventral hippocampus-amygdala circuit is modified by endocannabinoid signaling.
I am currently doing my PhD at Boston University. I am interested in how neurons encode events and associate stimuli as a population.
Currently completing my PhD in the Eichenbaum lab at Boston University. Interested in probing the connection between long-term stability in the hippocampal neural code and episodic memory.
Completed my PhD at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS) in Iran and I am currently a post-doc in Marc Howard's lab at Boston University studying theoretical neuroscience.
My research focuses on how animals use structured relations from the environment to learn representations of meaningful compositional codes for features of objects.
My research explores the cognitive neuroscience of episodic memory using behavioral, eye-tracking, & functional neuroimaging methods. I am interested in how past events are reconstructed during memory and how hippocampal-cortical connections support this.
I completed my PhD in Canada where I studied the neuromodulatory role of the locus coeruleus in shaping hippocampal representations. Currently I am a post-doc at BU studying memory modulation via reconsolidation using optogenetics in mice.
