He studies the neurobiology of learning and memory, neuropsychology, and comparative cognition, using behavioral and neurophysiological recording techniques to study the long-term storage of memory in the brain. In particular, his lab focuses on the hippocampal memory system and its interactions with the association neocortex. Seth completed his PhD in neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego, and trained as a postdoc with Howard Eichenbaum at Boston University before joining the faculty at Bowdoin.
