DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the visi
 on of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972
 –1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks 
 will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, co
 gnitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientis
 ts from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally
  and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual fo
 rum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary ex
 changes on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive
  disorders.\n\n\nRegister for In-Person\n\nTo watch online\, click here\n
 \n\nMemory Consolidation in the Mind and Brain\n\nAbstract: What happens i
 n the mind and brain when new experiences are stored for the long term? Al
 exa Tompary’s research investigates how episodic memories are transformed 
 over the course of systems-level consolidation\, a phenomenon in which new
  memory traces are distributed across cortical regions over weeks\, months
 \, or even years. In this talk\, she will present behavioral and neuroimag
 ing studies that examine the psychological changes that memories undergo a
 s they age and the neural computations that occur after learning to promot
 e their long-term storage. Her findings suggest that\, over time\, changes
  in the neural reinstatement of episodic memories are linked to changes in
  their behavioral integration. She will also describe a new set of experim
 ents that explore the relationship between memory consolidation and mind-w
 andering during states of awake rest after learning. Tompary proposes that
  spontaneous thought and memory replay are not independent processes but r
 ather complementary functions.\n\nAlexa Tompary\n\nAssistant Professor\, D
 epartment of Psychological and Brain Sciences\, Drexel University\n\n\n\nA
 lexa Tompary is cognitive neuroscientist interested in the neural computat
 ions that underpin memory. She earned earned her PhD in psychology at New 
 York University and completed postdoctoral training at the University of P
 ennsylvania. Now\, she leads the Memory and Concepts (MAC) lab in the Depa
 rtment of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Drexel University. Her team 
 uses cognitive neuroscience approaches to study the relationship between e
 pisodic memory and concept knowledge\, aiming to further our understanding
  how our prior knowledge impacts how we learn new information and how the 
 brain stores\, organizes\, and transforms memories according to our future
  needs.\n
