[LAM Membership Roster] [LAM Meeting Rosters]

The Neurobiology of Learning and Memory [LAM] Study Section reviews applications on the neurobiological structures, mechanisms, and principles underlying learning, memory, and associated neural plasticity. The scope of this committee is broad, including studies of the molecular and cellular changes, functional circuitry, and neural coding and integration that underlie learning and memory processes. Most importantly, all studies appropriate for LAM directly relate neural substrates to behavioral/cognitive processes.

• Functional circuitry: anatomical pathways and behavioral physiology of brain structures that mediate learning and memory.
• Neural correlates of learning and memory: neural activity, assessed by single neuron and population firing patterns and imaging, associated with learning and memory.
• Cellular plasticity: understanding cellular events that underlie plasticity related to learning and memory.
• Molecular/genetic approaches: molecular and genetic mechanisms underling specific aspects of learning and memory function.
• Development and aging:  neurobiological mechanisms behind development and age-related changes in learning and memory capacity.
• Theoretical modeling: synaptic plasticity, neural circuitry, and interactions among brain structures that affect learning and memory performance.
