Memory is the sum of who we are. It stretches our consciousness over a lifetime and allows us to enjoy meaningful lives. It enables us to learn from our mistakes and plan for our futures. It chronicles the history of our species and will tell our tale long after we are gone. Yet, for something so essential, we still know very little about how it works. The pathbreaking Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory was the first program in the world to take on this challenge. Today, we continue to lead the way in uncovering memory’s mysteries.
