Neural Adaptation and Spatial Learning - From Navigation to the Dentate Gyrus

Explore neural adaptation mechanisms and spatial learning processes in this conference talk that examines the journey from navigation behaviors to the specific functioning of the dentate gyrus in the brain. Delve into the computational and biological principles underlying how neural circuits adapt to enable spatial memory formation and navigation abilities. Discover the latest research connecting behavioral navigation patterns with the cellular and network-level processes occurring in the dentate gyrus, a critical brain region for spatial learning and memory consolidation. Learn about the mathematical models and experimental findings that illuminate how neural adaptation shapes our ability to navigate and remember spatial environments, bridging the gap between macroscopic navigation behaviors and microscopic neural mechanisms.
