Jeanette Norden, Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology, Emerita, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, explores how the brain learns and remembers. This video focuses on a discussion of how the brain is organized in general. • • These lectures will provide the foundation • information necessary to the understanding • of the lectures which will follow. A special • emphasis will be given to systems in the brain • that underlie learning and memory, attention • and awareness. These introductory lectures • will be followed by a lecture on how different • areas of the brain encode different, specific • types of information—from the phone number • we need only remember for a few minutes or • less to the childhood memories we retain for • a lifetime. We will also address the mistakes • of memory which give insight as to how the • brain actually encodes our life experiences. • The last group of lectures in this series will • focus on the many clinical conditions that can • affect different types of learning and memory. • Lastly, we will focus our discussion on the • accumulating evidence that aging need not be • associated with significant memory loss. We • will discuss advancements in neuroscience that • indicate ways to keep your brain healthy as • you age. • • To learn more about Vanderbilt, visit http://www.vanderbilt.edu.
