The recruitment of spatial cells in large-scale space & an AI approach to neural discovery
Prof Caswell Barry, Professorial Research Fellow, Cell & Developmental Biology, Division of Biosciences, University College London. He and his team are trying to understand how the brain works - how it creates that experience of being human, and more specifically, how the brain creates, stores, and updates memories for places and events. They are trying to answer this is by studying areas of the brain linked to memory, the hippocampus and associated sections of cortex – by recording the activity of neurons in these areas we can visualise and hopefully understand the processes the trigger memory formation and retrieval.
