UC Davis is among the world’s foremost universities in the study of learning, memory, and neural plasticity. The UC Davis Memory and Plasticity (MAP) program is central hub for learning and memory research and education at UC Davis, stimulating interactions that bridge the gap between cellular, systems, and cognitive neuroscience, cognitive and developmental psychology, and psychiatry and neurology.
Our goals are to: (1) Uncover the mechanisms by which experiences shape neural circuits and behavior (2) To understand how mechanisms of learning and memory are affected by development, aging, and disease (3) And to develop new approaches to improve learning and memory in healthy individuals and in patients with memory disorders.
