Zichen (Cleo) He presented a poster titled “Different Mechanisms of Context Encoding in the Hippocampus and Retrosplenial Cortex” at the Cornell Undergraduate Research Board (CURB) 2021 Spring Symposium. Cleo has been working with graduate student Dev Subramanian to better understand the different mechanisms to encode contextual information in two interconnected brain regions. They have been using computational methods to analyze the various neuron firing patterns to understand the advantages of different coding scheme.
