Hi Everyone,

The NSO has invited Dr. Andrea Chiba from UCSD to speak at 
the Neuroscience seminar on Tuesday, Sept 21st.  Her 
research focuses on neural systems underlying affect, 
attention, learning, and memory.  This includes:

-studying the role of the basal forebrain cholinergic system 
in modulation attention in two distinct behavioral settings, 
associative learning and spatial orienting
-examining the contribution of the amygdala and associated 
cortical systems to the formation of preferences for neutral 
stimuli.

If you would like to meet with her during her visit, or have 
any questions, please e-mail me.  Meetings will last between 
30-45 min.  

Thanks,
Karla
