How We Learn: Memory and the Brain

Dr. Charles Vella will give a brief review of what is currently known about the neuroscience of human memory. He will review the evolution and basic neurobiology of memory (anatomy, processes, types). It will cover the role of neuroplasticity, forgetting, and sleep in memory functioning. It will also include a variety of tips for better memory retention.
