From CNLM:

Women’s health and its effects on the brain have been understudied and underfunded for decades.

Join the UC Irvine Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory on January 28, 2026, for the Distinguished Lecture on Brain, Learning, and Memory, presented by Dr. Emily G. Jacobs. Her lecture, titled “New Frontiers in Women’s Brain Health,” Dr. Jacobs will explore the longstanding gaps in knowledge about how women’s health influences the brain—and the pioneering research now advancing the field.

In this program, you will discover:

  • Why women’s health has been historically underfunded and overlooked
  • How hormones shape learning, memory, and brain organization across the lifespan
  • How new research, funding, and policy efforts are driving progress in women’s brain health
