Aspirational Neuroscience (AN) is our nonprofit community of practice for neuroscientists, focused on a few challenging questions in neuroscience.
The AN community administers the Aspirational Neuroscience Prizes, a series of incentive prizes for important new work pushing neuroscience closer to decoding non-trivial memories from preserved animal model brains.
The community also runs a fortnightly online Neuroscience of Learning and Memory (NLM) Journal Club, for neuroscience students, postdocs, and practitioners, that explores exciting new papers and experiments on the rapidly-evolving neuroscience of learning and memory. The NLM JC covers all learning and memory topics, but it is particularly focused on how long-term memories are stably encoded and retrieved in animal brains, on high-resolution connectomics, on computational neuroscience, and on connectome and memory emulation in computers.
