Episodic and Associative Memory from Spatial Scaffolds in the Hippocampus

This talk explores the fascinating connection between spatial scaffolds in the hippocampus and memory formation as part of the Discussion Meeting on Neuroscience, Data Science and Dynamics at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Discover how the hippocampus serves as a foundation for both episodic and associative memory through Sarthak Chandra's 40-minute presentation. The talk is part of a broader three-day conference (April 21-23, 2025) featuring distinguished speakers including Prof. Gabriel Mindlin, who will deliver the Turing lectures on The Physics of Birdsong. This interdisciplinary gathering brings together researchers from neuroscience, dynamics, and data science fields, providing valuable networking opportunities for young faculty, students, and postdoctoral fellows interested in these cutting-edge research areas.
