Gina R. Poe is an American neuroscientist specializing in the study of sleep and its effect on memory and learning. [1] Her findings have shown that the absence of noradrenaline and low levels of serotonin during sleep spindles allow the brain to form new memories during REM, as well as restructure old memory circuits to allow for more learning during later waking periods.

Knowing Neurons is a neuroscience education website created in 2012 by PhD graduate students at the University of Southern California (USC) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The website features regular content focused on elucidating fundamental neuroscience concepts, new research, and current hypotheses.
Thompson began his academic career as an assistant professor of neurology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), after completing his PhD in neuroscience as a Fulbright Scholar at UCLA. During his time at UCLA, Thompson was promoted to professor in 2010.
Don Vaughn is an American neuroscientist and science communicator. He is a postdoctoral scholar at UCLA's Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Behavior [1] and adjunct faculty at Santa Clara University.
She obtained post-doctoral training under the supervision of Russell Poldrack and Susan Bookheimer at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Behavior at UCLA from 2006 to 2008, prior to joining the UCLA faculty in 2008. [2] She was the honored recipient of the UCLA Department of Psychology Distinguished Teaching Award (Senior Ladder) in 2015. [6]
Anne K. Churchland is a neuroscientist at University of California, Los Angeles.Her laboratory studies the function of the posterior parietal cortex in cognitive processes such as decision-making and multisensory integration.
Andrews' research career has been distinguished by advancing both basic and translational research questions in chemical neuroscience. She is the leader of an interdisciplinary research team at UCLA engaged in the development of innovative nanomaterial based in vivo biosensors for neurotransmitters.
The Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior is a research institute of the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). It includes a number of centers, including the "Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics", which uses DNA sequencing, gene expression studies, bioinformatics, and the genetic manipulation of model organisms to understand brain and behavioral phenotypes.
