Decoding Memory: Neural Circuits, Learning, and the Science Behind How We Remember

In this episode of Her Path to Success, I’m joined by Dr. Colgin, a leading neuroscientist whose work explores how neural circuits and brain rhythms support learning and memory. We discuss her journey into neuroscience, her lab’s research on hippocampal networks and neural oscillations, and how foundational memory research connects to brain health and disease. Dr. Colgin also shares insights on interdisciplinary collaboration, mentorship, and what the next decade may hold for memory science—along with advice for students interested in research.
