Overview:
- Types of memory and neural substrates
- Structures in medial temporal lobe and their roles in memory
- Alzheimer's disease and effects in these structures

About the Professor:
Dr. Barbara Knowlton is a Professor from the UCLA Department of Psychology since 2004. She is interested in the neural substrates of memory and executive function. In her main line of research, she examines the role of different medial temporal lobe structures in declarative memory. She is also interested in the role of corticostriatal loops in habit learning and would like to further delineate the role of different loops in cognition.
