Think you accurately remember a conversation from a few days ago? What
about events from several years ago? Just how good is your memory, and
how do you know if you are having memory problems?
Stuart Zola, PhD, director of the Yerkes National Primate Research
Center of Emory University and co-director of the Atlanta Center for
Behavioral Neuroscience, will use the critically acclaimed movie/
Memento/ to illustrate what neuroscience has revealed about memory and
amnesia. The critically acclaimed film, which was released in 2000, is
the story of a man suffering from short-term memory loss who uses notes
and tattoos to find his wife's killer.
You won't forget this film or lecture!
**Note: The film is rated R for violence, language and some drug content.
Patrons under age 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The
lecture and film are most appropriate for an adult audience.
