Celebrating 40 Years of Discovery

What began as the visionary thinking of a handful of scientists is now more than 100 Fellows strong and continues to be one of the most prolific and visible neurosience research centers in the world.

Fellows are leading scholars providing both theoretical and empirical contributions to the neuroscience of learning and memory. For over forty years, they have worked together to generate new insights into the inner workings of memory and the brain. Now, as we look to the future, our scientists are once again poised to make radical discoveries and critical scientific breakthroughs.

In 2016, Michael Yassa was appointed director of the CNLM, continuing its legacy of excellence and charting a re-invigorated mission and vision that integrates the Fellows’ research with the communities it is intended to serve. Importantly, the

CNLM is now more focused than ever on embracing diversity and inclusion at every level and creating new opportunities for training the next generation of brain scientists.

The Center’s membership is the most diverse it has ever been. Its flagship K-12 Brain Explorer Academy is best in class. Its public lecture series has reached more than 70,000 audience members to date. Its student “Ambassadors” design and implement public outreach programs that teach neuroscience to underserved communities. And the list goes on...
