Susumu Tonegawa

Dr. Tonegawa will first briefly walk through almost 60 years of training and research spanning from molecular genetics to immunology to neuroscience. He will then describe in detail what is currently known about how memory of experience is formed, stored in the brain, and retrieved for recall, focusing on the discovery of 'memory engrams' and their artificial manipulations. Dr. Tonegawa will end the talk by introducing a very recent study on the discovery of the hippocampal event code for knowledge that can be transferred across multiple tasks, making learning more efficient.
