SPEAKER: Dr. May-Britt Moser ORGANIZATION: Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience DATE + TIME: Wednesday February 5, 2014 at 4pm LOCATION: MIT Bldg 46-3002 (Singleton Auditorium) ABSTRACT: The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) is part of the brain’s circuit for dynamic representation of self-location. The metric of this representation is provided by grid cells, cells with spatial firing fields […]
