STEM Starters of WISC (Women in Science at Columbia) hosts a seminar series with Columbia graduate students open to all students

About this Event

The ability to store and encode memories allows us to remember fun experiences with our friends and family, to access stored information so we can do well on tests, and to learn from our past mistakes and struggles. These kinds of memories, called "episodic" memories, are stored through the activity of brain cells, or neurons, in a region of the brain called the hippocampus. In this STEMinar, we will discover how activity of the hippocampus shapes our present actions and future behaviors.

Content is geared toward curious high school and middle school students, but all are welcome! All events are free.
