Cortical Travelling Waves- Mechanisms and Computational Principles
Offered By: Simons Institute via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating world of cortical travelling waves in this comprehensive lecture by Terry Sejnowski from the Salk Institute. Delve into the mechanisms and computational principles behind these neural phenomena, starting with an introduction to the history of neuroscience. Examine the visual cortex and hippocampus, focusing on theta waves and their role in timing. Investigate sleep spindles and their connection to memory consolidation. Learn about the groundbreaking reveal that ties these concepts together, and discover the importance of repeatability in neuroscientific research. Conclude with insights from simulations that help elucidate the complex workings of the brain.
