Robert F. Berman, Ph.D. is Professor and Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Neurological Surgery and a member of the Center for Neuroscience at the University of California Davis. He is also Director of Research for the Neurotrauma Research Laboratories on the faculty of the UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute. Andrea Chiba is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cognitive Science and in the Program for Neuroscience and Computational Neuroscience at the University of California, San Diego. She is Science Director for the Temporal Dynamics of Learning Center, an NSF Science of Learning Center. Pamela Jackson is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Radford University. Her postdoctoral training, with Dr. Raymond Kesner, was in Physiological Psychology at the University of Utah. Her research interests have ranged from spatial learning in hippocampal-lesioned rats and pigeons to the role of the parietal and frontal cortices in implicit and explicit memory. Michael Ragozzino obtained his Ph.D from the University of Virginia conducting research on the neurochemical mechanisms that underlie learning and memory. He has been a faculty member at the University of Illinois at Chicago since 1999. He currently serves on the editorial board of Behavioral Neuroscience and as director of the Laboratory of Integrative Neuroscience at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
