UCLA Integrative Center for Learning and Memory
UCLA’s Integrative Center for Learning and Memory (ICLM) includes a diverse, highly collaborative community of neuroscientists exploring some of the most fundamental questions in science:
- Now do we acquire, allocate, store, recall and alter our memories?
- What are the causes of cognitive deficits?
- What molecular, cellular, systems, and cognitive mechanisms are involved in these fascinating processes?
Answers to these questions are not only transforming our vision of self, they are also having a profound impact in nearly every aspect of the human experience. By its very nature, this research is integrative and cross-disciplinary, incorporating molecular, cell, systems, and behavioral level approaches to study synapses, neurons, circuits, brains, and behavior.
The ICLM provides a cohesive identity and organizational structure that facilitates collaborations and interactions amongst a large community of scientists, including faculty, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students. ICLM is an inclusive organization. If you would like to join the Center simply contact us.

We welcome Mario Dipoppa, a new assistant professor in the Department of Neurobiology!
Mario obtained his Ph.D. at Pierre and Marie Curie University where he developed neural circuit models underlying working memory, under the guidance of Boris Gutkin. He then joined as a postdoc in the laboratory of Kenneth Harris and Matteo Carandini at University College London and was the recipient of the Marie Curie Fellowship. As a … Continue reading We welcome Mario Dipoppa, a new assistant professor in the Department of Neurobiology!
We welcome Gina Poe to ICLM!
Gina is a Professor Director of Maximizing Access to Research Careers U*STAR Program. She has been working since 1995 on the mechanisms through which sleep serves memory consolidation and restructuring. Dr. Poe is a southern California native who graduated from Stanford University then worked for two post-baccalaureate years at the VA researching Air Force Test … Continue reading We welcome Gina Poe to ICLM!
We welcome David Clewett, a new assistant professor in the Department of Psychology!
David received his PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Southern California in 2016, where he worked with Dr. Mara Mather to study emotion-cognition interactions. He then conducted a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Lila Davachi at NYU and Columbia University, where he studied how episodic memories are constructed from continuous experience. Before attending graduate school, … Continue reading We welcome David Clewett, a new assistant professor in the Department of Psychology!
