The Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (CNLM) is a research center[1] established in 1983[2] in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of California, Irvine that studies memory and learning. Center faculty reported the first known case of hyperthymesia;[3] they have also done research on false memory syndrome.[4] James McGaugh was the founding director,[2] and noted memory expert Elizabeth Loftus is a research fellow of the center.[5]

Michael A. Yassa, professor of neurobiology and behavior and James L. McGaugh Endowed Chair, has served as center director since 2016.[6]
