During this webinar, Dr. Takashi Kaitamura discusses how he combines unique genetic strategies and behavior assays with miniscope microscopy to investigate episodic memories. Learn how the hippocampus encodes different dimensions of space, objects, and time to form these memories in freely behaving mice.
Episodic memory requires the concerted association of objects, individual, space, and time coordinated by the entorhinal cortex (EC)-hippocampal (HPC) network. How the EC-HPC network spatially and temporally associates this diverse set of information (where, what, when and who) within a single episode, remains unknown.
Watch this amazing webinar where I will demonstrate how miniscope imaging combined with unique genetic strategies and clever behavior assays can be used to tease apart and functionally map neuronal circuits in the hippocampus that encode different dimensions (space, object, time, and individual) to produce episodic memories.
