Venue: Ian Potter Auditorium, Kenneth Myer Building
Presenters: Professor Tomás Ryan
Professor Tomás Ryan will be visiting the Florey to collaborate with several of our researchers who share his passion for memories – what are they, how are they stored and can we retrieve lost memories?
Tomás is based at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, and is interested in the fundamental question of how memory is stored as information in the brain.
Recent studies have shown that spatial memories are encoded as sparse populations of cells that are activated during learning and are necessary for the retrieval of specific memories. We refer to these cells as 'memory engram cells'. The focus of Tomás' research is to understand how engram cells are able to store specific memories as information.
During this public lecture Tomás will outline his research program and answer all your curly questions around memories, and forgetting.
