Memory Meeting


Every week the memory group meets to discuss current and exciting topics on the frontier of memory and plasticity research. It is a unique opportunity for open discourse between professors, postdocs, and graduate students in a stimulating environment, perfect for inspiring and cultivating new ideas. To join our mailing list, please contact Trevor Baer (tlbaer@ucdavis.edu)

This meeting is cross-listed as the graduate course PSC263, and will focus on current debates and issues in the cognitive neuroscience of memory. The course will cover a series of interrelated topics, and will consist primarily of readings and discussions of journal articles and review papers published in the past few years. A working knowledge of cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience and memory will be useful, but is not required.

Currently, the memory meetings take place over Zoom on Fridays at 2:00PM.

Cell and Molecular Meeting


The Molecular and Cellular Group meets throughout the year to discuss the latest and greatest in the field of molecular/cellular neuroscience. Papers cover a broad range of topics, which include behavioral genomics, synapse and circuit development, synaptic transmission/plasticity, microcircuit dynamics, learning and memory, and reflect the interests of the multiple labs that participate. Meetings are held every other Friday morning at the School of Medicine Neurosciences building (across from the Center for Neuroscience) in a casual atmosphere over breakfast, and promote exciting, fun discussions and critical thinking. To join our mailing list, please contact Diasynou Fioravante (dfioravante@ucdavis.edu) or Alex Nord (asnordu@ucdavis.edu).

Bay Area Memory Meeting (BAMM) 


The Bay Area Memory Meeting (aka BAMM) is an annual meeting that brings together investigators studying memory and cognitive control from the peninsula (Stanford & UC Santa Cruz), city (UCSF and USF), east bay (UC Berkeley and Martinez VA), valley (UC Davis), and beyond (UCSB and UCLA).The objectives of BAMM are to:​
  • Foster communication and an exchange of ideas between scientists in the bay area who study memory and cognitive control, and    
  • Provide a forum in which students and postdocs can present their research and build relationships with faculty and peers beyond their local institution.
