The Cambridge Memory Meeting 2017 (CAMM2017) will have broad appeal to both basic and clinical neuroscientists. The aim of this meeting is to present new data relating to memory research, and to foster new collaborations between academics working across the length and breadth of this field. The focus this year will be on memory in the context of clinical disorders, reflecting the high priority of Alzheimer’s disease and related conditions for global healthcare systems.
