SUMMARY:Estrogenic Regulation of Memory Consolidation: Neural Mechanisms an
 d Implications for Women’s Health
DESCRIPTION:\nSeminar Title: Estrogenic Regulation of Memory Consolidat
 ion: Neural Mechanisms and Implications for Women’s Health\nPresenter: D
 r. Karyn Frick\, Distinguished Professor\, Department of Psychology\, U
 niversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\n\nThe primary focus of Dr. Fricks resea
 rch is to understand how sex-steroid hormones\, aging\, and environmental 
 factors affect hippocampal function and hippocampal-dependent memory. This
  work is motivated by the rapidly expanding elderly population worldwide\,
  which will greatly increase the prevalence of age-related cognitive decli
 ne and dementia. Her teams ultimate goal is to help mitigate the impact o
 f cognitive aging on the individual and society by facilitating the develo
 pment of treatments to reduce or prevent age-related memory decline in hum
 ans. To this end\, they utilize rodents as research subjects because rode
 nt species offer an unparalleled opportunity to examine systems-level and 
 cellular-level questions about memory formation in a mammalian system wher
 e the effects of aging\, hormones\, and environmental stimulation are simi
 lar to those in humans. Their studies combine a variety of approaches inc
 luding behavioral\, biochemical\, pharmacological\, genetic\, and anatomic
 al methods in order to gain a more detailed picture of the molecular mecha
 nisms underlying the effects of aging\, estrogens\, progestagens\, and env
 ironmental enrichment on the hippocampus and hippocampal memory formation.
