Research interests
Who would we be without our memories? Through learning and memorisation of relevant information, our brain learns to make predictions about the world and take (hopefully) appropriate decisions. Our specific experiences make each one of us unique individuals and orient our daily actions. My general aim as a researcher is to try and understand how episodic memories are stored in neural networks and how they are used to influence complex decisions. In particular, I study “place cells”, hippocampal neurons thought to encode spatial memories. I record and analyze the activity of these cells in rats performing complex navigation tasks to help unravel the mechanisms of navigation in complex space and the processes through which memory influences future decisions.
