The Center for Learning and Memory is a basic neuroscience research center that marshals the collective expertise of 16 premier neuroscientists from diverse disciplines to unravel the mechanisms that govern learning and memory and cognitive disorders. Research at the Center spans the fields of neurobiology, molecular biology, genetics, physiology, behavior, physics and computer science. The Center promotes the exchange of ideas and expertise across different disciplines and levels of analysis (from molecules to organismal behavior) while maintaining a specific focus on understanding brain mechanisms underlying learning and memory.

The Center offers un-paralleled scientific training programs and our faculty are currently training over 40 graduate students and more than 40 postdoctoral fellows to be the next generating of leaders in the field. In addition, our faculty offer undergraduate students the opportunity to gain research experience through undergraduate research internships and teaching core courses for the new undergraduate Bachelor of Science major in Neuroscience.
