The Evolution of Memory Consolidation

Sam Chanse's play "What You Are Now" asks if there's a way to alter our traumatic memories. To help us gain insight into this idea, we spoke with Dr. Daniela Schiller, a Professor of Neuroscience and Psychiatry at the Ichan School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. As director of the school’s laboratory of affective neuroscience, her research concerns the discovery of the neural mechanisms underlying emotional control and flexibility.

"What You Are Now" is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series of science-themed plays. Lead funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world.
