MEMORY experts from around the world will meet at the University of York this week for a major international conference.

The International Conference on Memory will explore how memory operates, from its basis in the brain, how it informs our actions and our sense of self, and how people with memory impairments can be identified and supported.

More than 800 delegates will take part in the event, which will include 500 presentations and 250 posters, spanning the science of memory and social and cultural perspectives.
