Jason Rieve
Tom Luljak, Karyn Frick and Fred Helmstetter

It is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body. With billions of nerves and trillions of connections, the human brain is a marvel.

On this edition of UWM Today, we’re going to talk about the science of our brains and more specifically, the amazing circuitry that gives us our memory. In the studio with us are two UWM neuroscientists who have each received major grants from the National Institute of Health to study brain function. Fred Helmstetter is a Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Karyn Frick is also a professor of psychology in UWM’s College of Letters & Science.

This interview originally aired August 10, 2017.

Tom Luljak hosted UWM Today on WUWM for more than two decades and is the inaugural host of Curious Campus.
