Stress and the Brain: Good News and Bad News
Dr. Sapolsky's pioneering research has revealed how the psychological challenges and chronic stress so common in our lives can damage brain function, disrupt memory and contribute to stress-related illnesses. He is the acclaimed author of "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers," and is widely recognized for his studies of the connections between emotion and physical well-being.
Childhood Memories: Here Today, Where Tomorrow?
Dr. Bauer's influential research on memory in infants and young children has revolutionized our thinking about children's memories. In an imaginative series of experiments, she has shown that very young children, and even infants, create long-lasting memories. These findings have important implications for parents and others who care for children.

Dr. Squire's research on learning and memory in brain-injured humans and primates has provided important new insights into how the brain works. He is the world's leading scientist studying how the brain forms different kinds of memories - from learning the names of friends to learning a new skill such as golf. This lecture helps us better understand the mysterious gray matter that makes up the most complex organ in the universe.
