Memory and learning are the brain’s fundamental adaptive processes, enabling humans to acquire, retain, and apply knowledge. These cognitive functions depend on the coordinated activity of the hippocampus, cortex, and multiple neurotransmitter systems. Understanding their neurobiological basis is essential to address disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, amnesia, and cognitive decline.

The Memory and Learning session explores the cellular and molecular mechanisms of memory encoding, consolidation, and retrieval. Researchers examine synaptic plasticity, long-term potentiation (LTP), and neural circuit reorganization during cognitive tasks. Studies also highlight how stress, sleep, and emotion shape learning outcomes.

At the Memory and Learning Conference, neuroscientists, psychologists, and educators discuss cross-disciplinary perspectives—ranging from experimental models to applied brain training and cognitive rehabilitation. Topics include neuroimaging correlates of memory formation, artificial memory implants, and age-related memory loss interventions.

This session serves as a platform for advancing theories of cognition and neuroplasticity. Attendees will gain insights into novel treatments for memory impairment, educational neuroscience, and technology-enhanced learning paradigms.

Recent findings in Synaptic Plasticity research reveal that experience-dependent changes in connectivity underlie lifelong learning, recovery, and creativity.
