Neuroscientist Steve Ramirez Awarded BU’s 2021 Metcalf Cup and Prize
Steve Ramirez (CAS’10), a CAS assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences, is commended by students for his listen-first approach. In awarding him this year’s top teaching award, the judges wrote that he “presents information in a way that students say is impossible to forget, using personal stories, videos, and pop-culture references they can relate to.” Photo by Cydney Scott Commencement

When we experience a new event, our brain records a memory of not only what happened, but also the context, including the time and location of the event. A new study from MIT neuroscientists sheds light on how the timing of a memory is encoded in the hippocampus, and suggests that time and space are encoded separately.
In a study of mice, the researchers identified a hippocampal circuit that the animals used to store information about the timing of when they should turn left or right in a maze. When this circuit was blocked, the mice were unable to remember which way they were supposed to turn next. However, disrupting the circuit did not appear to impair their memory of where they were in space.
