Project Description

The hippocampal formation (HF) in mammals is responsible for collecting information about the sensory world and, if appropriate, storing that information as memories, to be offloaded to other brain structures later. The HF has a number of notable response properties, including nested, quasi-periodic activity. In this project, the student will work with us to collect and analyze data related to responses to periodic drive, collected via novel microscopy and voltage-imaging methods.
