- **Event Description**: How Your Brain Holds Onto the Past
with Brice Kuhl, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Oregon.

It is easy to take memory for granted. In fact, we often only reflect on our ability to remember when we are frustrated by occasional failures (forgetting). However, humans have a remarkable capacity to remember the past and this memory comes in multiple forms. Over the past several decades, much has been learned about how the brain forms memories and why we sometimes forget.

In this talk, Professor Brice Kuhl will give an overview of how memories are formed in the brain and the factors that contribute to forgetting. He will review evidence from brain imaging and behavioral studies in humans, neural recordings in rodents, and studies of amnesic patients. He will also discuss ways in which all of us can get the most out of our memories.

Science Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region, recommended for ages 10 and over.

Tickets: $8 suggested donation | Advance tickets recommended

Zoom Option: If you are unable to join us in person, you can watch on Zoom. You must register in advance. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
