Title: From virtual reality to reality: How neurons make maps <br>
<br>
A part of the brain called the hippocampus is thought to be crucial for<br>
learning and memory and implicated in many incurable disorders ranging<br>
from Autism to Alzheimer's. Hence, it is crucial to understand how the<br>
hippocampus works. Decades of research shows that hippocampal damage in<br>
humans causes loss of episodic or autobiographical memory. But, such<br>
memory traces in hippocampal single neurons are hard to find. Instead<br>
research in the rodent hippocampus shows that the neurons encode spatial<br>
maps, or place cells. Place cells are common in rodents but rare in<br>
humans or nonhuman primates. These major discrepancies have hampered not<br>
only scientific progress, but also diagnosis and treatment of major<br>
disorders including ADRD. I will share our findings using virtual<br>
reality that address these questions and provide surprising answers that<br>
can significantly advance translation of basic science to treatments.<br>
<br>
Hope to see you all there, and remember that we have a live Brain Day<br>
(real speaker in a real meeting room) on April 6.<br>
<br>
Regards, Britt<br>
