Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
HISTORY OF THE CNLM
The Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (CNLM) was established by the UC Regents in 1983 with Dr. James McGaugh as the Founding Director. The CNLM is the first research institute in the world dedicated exclusively to the multidisciplinary study of the basic brain mechanisms that allow us to acquire, retain and use information. The CNLM has been a global leader in learning and memory research and education for forty years. Since 2016, the Center has been led by Dr. Michael Yassa. Major conferences and other educational and training activities are organized by the Center's Office of Outreach and Education, led by Manuella Yassa.
In its forty year history, the CNLM has educated hundreds of graduate and postdoctoral researchers and thousands of undergraduate students. This education has prepared them to make their own contributions to this field of knowledge and to teach future generations of scientists. Former graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the CNLM hold positions of leadership in neuroscience across the globe and have exponentially multiplied the impact of the Center in the field.
The 2023 International Conference on the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory is held in celebration of this forty year history.
