Please (virtually!)  join us for The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory's Fall 2020 Symposium, Internal States of the Brain, on October 6, 2020 from 9:00am - 5:45pm.

As animals navigate their environments, their nervous systems transition between a wide range of internal states that influence how sensory information is processed and how behaviors are generated. These states can be detected in virtually all animals, but the neural mechanisms that govern their generation remain poorly understood. The 2020 Picower Fall Symposium brings together a group of speakers who are tackling this problem using many different approaches.
