Research Interests
Research goal of our laboratory is to understand the neural mechanisms of learning, memory and spatial navigation
Hippocampus, a major brain region involved in contextual learning and episodic memory, is suggested to create
conjunctive representation of spatial and non-spatial information conveyed by multimodal inputs from cortical areas. In order to clearly understand the role of hippocampus in constructing higher-order cognitive representations, it is essential to understand the status of information processing occurring at its input and output areas involved in this process. Our laboratory is interested in examining the information processing in subicular complex region during spatial navigation, by recording neural activity in awake behaving rodents in vivo using multi electrode electrophysiological technique.
