The National Institute of Mental Health's Intramural Research Program is conducting a scientific symposium in honor of Leslie G. Ungerleider, Ph.D. This symposium will celebrate Dr. Ungerleider’s sizeable contributions to neuroscience by featuring talks that will highlight her immense scientific impact as well as her outstanding mentoring of hundreds of accomplished scientists. This event will gather Dr. Ungerleider’s colleagues, collaborators, friends, and mentees from around the world to celebrate her contributions to neuroscience over the past 50 years.
Dr. Ungerleider was a pioneering neuroscientist whose work spanning five decades, ranged from single cell recordings and anatomical tracings in monkeys to PET and fMRI studies in humans, from sensory processing in V1 to attentional modulation in prefrontal and parietal cortex, and from low-level visual perceptual learning to high-level social cognition. She passed away in December 2020.
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Limited seating in Lipsett Amphitheater will be available on a first come, first serve basis due to COVID-19 restrictions. The event will also be broadcast live on NIH Videocast.
