DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the visi
 on of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972
 –1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks 
 will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, co
 gnitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientis
 ts from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally
  and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual fo
 rum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary ex
 changes on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive
  disorders.\n\n\nRegistration here\n\nStream via Vimeo here\n\n\nKatherine

 t prepared to learn? Our intuition points to slowly changing factors\, lik
 e having a good night’s sleep or a cup of coffee. Remarkably\, an influent
 ial factor may operate so quickly that it eludes our conscious reflections
  and psychological investigation—the hippocampal theta rhythm. We know tha
 t this rhythm matters for the brain\; at different phases of theta\, roden
 t hippocampal neurons receive input from different sources and tend to str
 engthen vs. weaken their connections. But\, do people's memory abilities a
 lso depend on the phase of these rhythms? I will present my lab's first at
 tempts to answer this question. First\, doubling down on behavior\, I'll p
 resent our adaptation of the behavioral oscillation paradigm popularly use
 d to study the rhythms of attention. With it\, we can reconstruct the time
  course of how equipped people are to form memories. We do this with milli
 second precision following an oscillatory resetting stimulus (attention-gr
 abbing cue). Second\, I will present our approach to targeting specific hi
 ppocampal theta phases with deep-brain stimulation to assess their causal 
 involvement in memory formation. Together\, this work shows that memory pr
 ocesses aren't always on\, ready to capture or relive experiences. Instead
 \, they paint memory as a rhythmic process with its outcomes at the whim o
 f its beat.\n
