Neurogenesis Speaker Series: February Edition
Come meet HBHL-supported Faculty!聽
Wednesday, February 11, 2026
4:30鈥�6:30 p.m. (includes a one-hour reception)
It's already this year's second edition of Neurogenesis! Get to know HBHL-supported faculty recruits firsthand, learn about their research, ask questions and network with your peers during the post-event reception.
Each event in this series will feature two HBHL faculty recruits whose research areas provide an interesting contrast or intersection for discussion.
February Speakers:聽
- 聽- "Residual Memory in Amnesia: Real-World Retention Beyond the Hippocampus"
- 聽-聽鈥淗ippocampal-Neocortical Connectivity Dynamics in Episodic Memory鈥�
- Q&A moderated by HBHL Scientific Director聽Alan Evans
Speakers
Sam Audrain, PhD
Dr. Audrain is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at 涩里番 and the Neuro. She completed her BA at 涩里番 and her MA and PhD at the University of Toronto in the Department of Psychology. Before returning to 涩里番, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the Laboratory of Brain and Cognition. Her lab uses neuropsychological testing, fMRI at 3 and 7T, and polysomnography to understand the neural substrates of encoding, consolidation and retrieval. Her research program ultimately seeks to understand how the brain forms long-lasting memories, and how this process fails in populations with memory disorders.聽聽
Majid Mohajerani, PhD
Majid Mohajerani, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the Douglas Research Centre and 涩里番. He holds BSc, MSc and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Neuroscience, respectively. His group鈥檚 research program focuses on neural dynamics, with particular emphasis on sensorimotor integration and memory systems. His lab combine optical imaging, electrophysiology, behavioural methods and computational tools to understand how different brain areas communicate with one another and A) how memory is encoded and consolidated, B) how sleep influences memory processing in whole brain networks and which internal and external factors can influence this processing and C) how motor movement are generated based on sensory inputs. In addition, his lab develops technologies to facilitate recording brain activity across multiple spatial scales and establishes methods to expand the range of behaviours that can be studied in the mouse model system.聽
