The 2023 International Conference on Learning and Memory (LEARNMEM2023) took place on April 26-30, 2023 in Huntington Beach, CA. Hosted by UC Irvine’s very own Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, the conference hosted about 800-1,000 scientists from 32 countries, including high school and undergraduate presenters.
Many of our lab members presented posters on their research progress and/or results from the past year. Additionally, Daniela gave a lightning talk, “White matter structural integrity is associated with specific white matter navigation abilities in midlife adults,” where she presented one main result from her recent white matter analyses. Liz gave an open paper talk, “Individual differences in human navigation ability: Interactions between brain structure and function,” sharing the lab’s current research.
Here are the posters from lab managers, graduate students, and post-docs. Click on the names to see an action shot during their presentations:
- Alina Tu – The relationship between hippocampal subfield volumes and individual differences in navigation
- Daniela Cossio – White matter structural integrity is associated with specific white matter navigation abilities in midlife adults
- Erica Ward – Brain network dynamics for navigational learning and memory
- Marjan Rashidi – The role of chronic stress in spatial learning in humans
- Theo Kapogianis – Impact of graph metrics on non-spatial navigational learning
- Mike Starrett-Ambrose – Domain generality and specificity across egocentric and allocentric distance ratings
- Vaisakh Puthusseryppady – Alterations to spatial exploration behavior and its effect on spatial memory in early aging
