Transformation of Neuronal Activity in the Entorhinal-hippocampal-neocortex Path
SUMMARY What is the right way to investigate neuronal circuits? The dominant strategy in neuroscience is to examine the relationships between stimuli, brain signals and behavior. In this framework, the investigator is in a privileged situation. Because s/he has access to both brain patterns and signals outside the brain, s/he can establish correlations between them. However, without further ‘grounding’, it remains unknown whether these experimenter-observed correlations are actually utilized by the brain. The present project will take an alternative approach by investigating how neuronal population patterns in an upstream circuit are ‘read out’ by a downstream observer circuit/mechanism in…
