Finding topological structure in neural ensemble activity Recent breakthroughs in electrophysiological recordings and calcium imaging have unlocked the potential for understanding how groups of neurons work together. ...

The hexagonal firing pattern of entorhinal grid cells could arise from a competitive mechanism mediated by interneurons. In this thesis, we asked if a two-population continuous attractor model, consistent with the proposed ...

Navigation relies on the integration of incoming sensory information with a stable schema that can be applied to map the current environment. This integration results in a dynamic map of the animal’s position based on ...
