Welcome!
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:
Find out more about the MAP program with a message from the director.
Our goals are to:
- Uncover the mechanisms by which experiences shape neural circuits and behavior.
- Understand how mechanisms of learning and memory are affected by development, aging, and disease.
- And to develop new approaches to improve learning and memory in healthy individuals and in patients with memory disorders.

Dr. O’Reilly is currently Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Colorado, Boulder. His work focuses on biologically-based computational models of learning mechanisms in different brain areas, including hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia, and posterior visual cortex.
Dr. Yuko Munakata is currently Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her work investigates child development and environmental influences on children’s thinking, using behavioral, neuroimaging, and computational approaches. |
The Memory and Plasticity Program is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the second MAP Collaboration Seed Grant. The goal of this program is to support collection of pilot data to stimulate and develop new collaborative research projects. We will award a total of two one-year grants of $25,000 each. We welcome both basic and translational science research proposals.
Applications for the 2019 year close on Sunday, July 28, 11:59pm. |
