Following a screening of Petra Seeger's film, In Search of Memory: The Neuroscientist Eric Kandel, Oliver Sacks interviewed Kandel about his role in the discovery of how memory works. Kandel, along with his colleagues, received the Nobel Prize for Physiology in 2000, for discovering the central role synapses play in memory and learning. He is the author of In Search of Memory: The Emergence of a New Science of Mind. Oliver Sacks is a professor of neurology and psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center and the author of many books, including Awakenings and Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain. Filmmaker Petra Seeger introduced the film.  A reception for CAAL Members took place in the 92nd Street Y's Art Gallery before the screening of the film.
