Space in the Brain: Cells, Circuits, Codes and Cognition

Conference - Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom

Recent discoveries have revealed the microstructure of the brain's representation of self-location in the hippocampal formation, providing an ideal model system for investigating the neural codes of memory and cognition. This meeting will integrate advances in optogenetics, virtual-reality, inducible transgenics, neuroimaging and computational neuroscience to define the neural mechanisms of navigation, with implications extending to behavioural genetics, robotics and medicine.

Session 1: Cells
