Michael Rugg: Watching the Brain at Work
Tuesday March 21, 2006 from 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Irvine Barclay Theatre
4242 Campus Drive
Irvine, California 92612 Get Directions
How do scientists' brains work? Or for that matter, the brains of you and me? What happens within our brain when we remember something for the first time, or when we memorize something? What does this mean for someone you know with Alzheimer's etc?

The past few years have seen extraordinary progress in methods for detecting and localizing brain activity in healthy, behaving humans. These new imaging methods can be used to study how memories are initially formed and how they are later retrieved. Dr. Rugg will describe brain networks that support these critical memory functions, how these networks change with age, and what this tells us about why memory becomes more fallible as we grow older.

Come join us at the Irvine Barclay Theatre for this talk. This event is free. Pick up your ticket at the box office window the evening of the lecture.
