A yearly ICLM meeting primarily for Southern California laboratories interested in plasticity and learning. Everyone is invited, and attendance is free. It is designed to promote collaborations and interactions between the many outstanding laboratories working in this field in Southern California. It is also a valuable resource for students and post-doctoral fellows interested since it provides an opportunity for them to be exposed to the breath and richness of our learning and memory community. No registration required for this meeting.
The 2025 Southern California Learning and Memory Symposium will take place on Monday, March 3, 2025 (please, mark your calendars) in the NRB building auditorium at UCLA!
