Hippocampal Mechanisms of Memory and Cognition - Part 1

Explore the intricate workings of the hippocampus and its role in memory and cognition in this comprehensive lecture by MIT professor Matt Wilson. Delve into hippocampal structure, storage and retrieval mechanisms, and the CAD view of memory processing. Examine brain oscillations, rate coding, and raw data analysis techniques. Investigate the consistency of neuronal firing, remapping phenomena, and spatial firing patterns. Gain insights into Bayesian decoding methods used to interpret hippocampal activity. Enhance your understanding of the neural basis of memory formation and cognitive processes through this in-depth exploration of hippocampal mechanisms.
