Time Encoding in the Lateral Entorhinal Cortex

A presentation of the 2025 Science paper shows how the Lateral Entorhinal Cortex (LEC) encodes time via two mechanisms. A continuous 'slow drift' and abrupt 'shifts' at event boundaries.

Learning Produces an Orthogonalized State Machine in the Hippocampus

The hippocampus learns by forming an "orthogonalized state machine," enabling contextual separation and flexible learning.

Memory in Context (Kickoff Session)
Monthly Meeting

Memory in Context (Kickoff Session)

The topic of this year's NABI symposium, we explore how hippocampal circuits reveal the principles behind flexible, context-dependent memory.

Integration and Competition Between Space and Time in the Hippocampus
Monthly Meeting

Integration and Competition Between Space and Time in the Hippocampus

Uncovering the trade-off between space and time in the hippocampus: how single neurons competitively balance these dimensions.

Geometry of Abstraction in the Brain
Monthly Meeting

Geometry of Abstraction in the Brain

Understand how the dimensionality of abstract representation in the brain supports generalization

Hippocampus as a Generative Circuit for Predictive Coding
Monthly Meeting

Hippocampus as a Generative Circuit for Predictive Coding

This review explores how theta oscillations guide the spontaneous emergence of ring attractors in the hippocampus.

Compositional Hippocampus Constructs Future Behavior
Monthly Meeting

Compositional Hippocampus Constructs Future Behavior

Hippocampal memory is compositional, and performs consolidation primarily through replay, allowing for zero-shot generalization and the construction of future behavior
