Eliza Bliss-Moreau, an assistant professor in the UC Davis Department of Psychology who
studies the biological underpinnings of emotion and the evolution of the brain, has been named a 2017 Murray B. Gardner Junior Faculty Research Fellow.
The journal Neuron recently chose its 12 best articles of 2014-15, including two from UC Davis teams engaged in the study of memory. The authors included two faculty members: Charan Ranganath, professor, and Brian Wiltgin, associate professor — both of the Department of Psychology and the Center for Neuroscience.
Why do we remember some events, places and things, but not others? Our brains prioritize rewarding memories over others, and reinforce them by replaying them when we are at rest, according to UC Davis research published in the journal Neuron.
