Day 2 - Mark Mayford, PhD - The Search for a Fear Memory Engram

UCSD Department of Psychiatry 50th Anniversary Symposium - Day 2 - Session 5: Memory & Cognition, and Motivation Research - The Search for a Fear Memory Engram by Mark Mayford, PhD. Mark Mayford, PhD Professor, Department of Psychiatry University of California, San Diego https://profiles.ucsd.edu/mark.mayford Dr. Mayford’s lab studies learning and memory in the mouse using a variety of molecular, genetic, and optical techniques to uncover the underlying cellular and circuit changes that store information in the brain. UCSD Department of Psychiatry Homepage https://medschool.ucsd.edu/som/psychi... Fifty years ago, a new medical school at the University of California, San Diego recruited a 35-year old neuroscientist-psychiatrist, Arnold J. Mandell, MD, to establish the country’s newest department of psychiatry. Mandell’s vision was to create a community of scholars, educators, and clinicians who understood that to make advances in the causes, mechanisms, treatment, and prevention of mental illness one needed to begin with the neurobiological bases of these disorders and link such insights to diagnosis and treatment. Mandell therefore put the department on a new path, a biologically rooted but translationally oriented multidisciplinary department. Our second Chair, Lewis L. Judd, MD, built on this concept and through careful recruiting of talented scientists, educators, and clinicians, developed what came to be regarded as one of the finest departments of psychiatry in the world. The science of this department expanded from investigations of the traditional mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and dementias to multidisciplinary investigations of the role of brain conditions in important medical disorders such as HIV/AIDS. From a scientific standpoint, a relatively young department became one of the three best funded research departments in the country, while developing 25 discipline specific and multidisciplinary training programs. The clinical enterprise has also flourished and now includes world class programs in the treatment of eating disorders, early psychosis, and many others. This 50th year celebration of the science, education, and clinical work of the department is a moment of both happy self-reflection, and consideration of paths forward. I hope you enjoy the program, and join me in the celebration.
