Scientific summary

The aim of our team is to understand the cellular/circuit mechanisms of hippocampal spatial coding and memory.  To address this question we develop and apply new techniques to perform intracellular recordings from hippocampal cells in vivo in awake freely navigating animals or head-fixed animals navigating virtual reality environments.
