'Space in the brain: cells, circuits, codes and cognition', Buckinghamshire, UK
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.
The event will bring together various researchers to discuss and exchange views on 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.For further information, please visit:
