How Sleep Traits Serve Learning and Memory Consolidation
Join BP Westwood and UCLA's own Dr. Gina Poe! Dr. Poe is curr ently a professor in the college of Life Sciences, Integrative Biology & ; Physiology and is also the Director of Maximizing Access to Research Care ers U*STAR Program. She will share with us more on her incredible research; the Poe lab investigates the mechanisms by which sleep traits serve learning and memory consolidation.
About the Sp eaker
Gina Poe 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 S tanford University then worked for two post-baccalaureate years at the VA r esearching Air Force Test Pilots’ brainwave signatures under high-G maneuve rs. She then earned her PhD in Basic Sleep in the Neuroscience Interdepartm ental Program at UCLA under the guidance of Ronald Harper then moved to the University of Arizona for her postdoctoral studies with Carol Barnes and B ruce McNaughtons looking at graceful degradation of hippocampal function in aged rats as well as hippocampal coding in a 3-D maze navigated in the 199 8 space shuttle mission.
At UCLA she continues research and teaching and Directs the COMPASS-Life Sciences and BRI-SURE programs an d co-Directs the MARC-U*STAR program. Nationally she is course director of the Marine Biological Lab’s SPINES course and co-Directs the Society for Ne uroscience’s NSP program which earned the nation’s highest mentoring honor in 2018. These programs have served over 600 PhD level trainees over the ye ars.
Time will be set aside for attendee intro ductions, so using the video feature throughout the meeting is encouraged. Please watch the training and read the documents on the BP ZOOM Resource Center, so you are prepared for the meeti ng.
