Five key topics have been reverberating in hippocampal-entorhinal cortex research over the past five decades: episodic and semantic memory, path integration (“dead reckoning”) and landmark (“map”) navigation, and theta oscillation. We suggest that the …

Both the thalamocortical and limbic systems generate a variety of brain state-dependent rhythms but the relationship between the oscillatory families is not well understood. Transfer of information across structures can be controlled by the offset …

Timing of spikes within the theta cycle has been shown to reflect the spatial position of the animal (“phase precession”). The phase of spikes correlates more strongly with distance than with the time elapsed from the point the rat enters the place field. …

The major part of the brain’s energy budget (~ 60-80%) is devoted to its communication activities. While inhibition is critical to brain function, relatively little attention has been paid to its metabolic costs. Understanding how inhibitory interneurons …

Ce cours bénéficiera de la présence du robot humanoïde HRP2 (1,54m, 58 kilos). Un ensemble de démonstrations seront menées sur le robot par plusieurs chercheurs du LAAS-CNRS à Toulouse. Elles permettront d'illustrer plusieurs concepts fondamentaux vus …
