Cosyne 2007 Workshops
February 26-27, 2007
The Canyons, Utah
Workshop Title
Hippocampal and entorhinal plasticity, coding and computation (2 days)
Organizer(s)
Hugh Blair (UCLA): blair@psych.ucla.edu
Elizabeth Buffalo (Emory) ebuffal@emory.edu
Loren Frank (UCSF): loren@phy.ucsf.edu
Abstract
The goal of this two day workshop is to bring together investigators using a variety of experimental and theoretical approaches to understanding processing in the hippocampal – entorhinal system.
We will have a wide ranging discussion on topics such as
- Grid cells
- Cellular and network level plasticity
- Interactions within and between regions
- Endogenous Rhythms
- Spatial and behavioral coding.
- Hippocampal / Entorhinal function across species
The workshop will emphasize presentations of unpublished or recently published data, and ample time will be allotted for questions and discussion.
