Dear all,
*Professor Signy Sheldon *(McGill Psychology) will be speaking in our Cognitive Area Seminar this *Friday, November 11th, 3:30 - 5 PM *(Room S3/4, Stewart Biology Building, 1205 Docteur Penfield Avenue).
*Her talk is titled, **"**The cognitive and neural processes that support different ways of remembering."*

*The cognitive and neural processes that support different ways of remembering*
Professor Signy Sheldon, Department of Psychology, McGill University
A major question in memory research is if different types of retrieval rely on distinct neural processes. In this talk, I will present behavioral and neuroimaging evidence that shows that the hippocampus, a critical brain structure for memory, is differently recruited depending on what is being recalled and also who is doing the remembering. I will also present results that show that the hippocampus supports retrieval for tasks outside the domain of remembering. Together, these findings lead the field away from traditional views of the hippocampus as a region exclusive to memory to one that views hippocampal processes as dynamic and flexible.
