F25-41 - The Science of Memory
Class | Registration opens 9/2/2025 9:00 AM
“Where did I leave my keys?” Most of us who have reached a "certain age” have experienced this. The question is why? Why don’t we easily remember things as we age? Memory is an essential brain function that connects our past to our present. Course topics to be discussed will be the biology of the formation of memories, types of memories, remembering and forgetting, and the effect of aging on memory. The course will conclude with some tips to help us remember.
