New paper with Gregory Peters is now online in the Behavioral Neuroscience journal.

The lab’s more recent research on Hippocampus spatial, episodic, and contextual memory as well as our work on the Retrosplenial Cortex were featured in a Cornell Research Feature article. Read the full article here: Cornell Research – Do I Know You? Where Have We Met?
Adam M.P. Miller, William Mau, and David M. Smith found that spatial representations develop in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) as rats learn a memory guided spatial navigation task. Spatial information is encoded in the form of population firing patterns, and, after learning, these firing patterns simulate future goal locations, suggesting an RSC role in navigational planning.
