DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nFear and traumata generate some of the longest-liv
 ed memories\, which contribute to the elevated life-time prevalence of str
 ess and anxiety-related disorders. Despite the corresponding need to bette
 r understand how such long-lasting fear memories can be attenuated\, surpr
 isingly little is known about this process. In this talk\, I will present 
 our recent findings that help to better understand remote fear memory atte
 nuation from a circuit and cellular perspective. \n\nBio:\nJohannes Gräff
  is Associate Professor at the Brain Mind Institute of the School of Life 
 Sciences at EPFL\, Switzerland. Of Swiss origin\, he obtained his PhD unde
 r the guidance of Isabelle Mansuy at ETHZ\, and conducted his postdoctoral
  studies in the laboratory of Li-Huei Tsai at the Picower Institute of Lea
 rning and Memory at MIT. Since setting up his own research group in 2013\,
  Johannes has become a NARSAD Independent Investigator\, an MQ fellow\, a 
 Vallee Scholar and a founding member of the FENS-KAVLI Network of Excellen
 ce. In 2014\, he has received the Young Investigator Award of the Swiss So
