Over the last several decades, the tractable response properties of parahippocampal neurons have provided a new access key to understanding the cognitive process of self-localization: the ability to know where you are currently located in space. Defined by functionally discrete response properties, neurons in the medial entorhinal cortex and hippocampus are proposed to provide the basis for an internal neural map of space, which enables animals to perform path-integration based spatial navigation and supports...

Empirical observations and heuristic arguments have underpinned the hypothesis that the nervous system organizes behavior in hierarchies. However, the determination of behavioral and neural signatures of such hierarchical control structures are hampered by the lack of a principled computational formalism describing the allocation of cognitive or neural resources in a maximally efficient...
Join us on September 26th from 6:00 – 7:30PM in Kresge 439 (HSPH, 677 Huntington Avenue) for the HGHI Global Health Graduate Student Research Seminar, featuring ‘research-in-progress’ from graduate students across Harvard University!
There are many diverse pathways for students with a life sciences concentration. Come hear from experts who have distinctive careers within a number of scientific disciplines. You’ll learn how scientists are applying their technical knowledge and expertise to tackle real-world challenges, and hear about where future opportunities may exist.
Panelists will include:
Cecilia Fernández, Director, Platform Development, Editas Medicine
Paxton Maeder-York SB '14, MBA '19, current HBS student and former System Product Manager at Auris Surgical...
