Integration of visual and spatial information in the brain

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Successful navigation requires the integration of incoming sensory information with internallygenerated representations of self-location. Research has predominantly focused on themeans by which visual stimuli update the hippocampal spatial memory system. However,despite the known importance of visual inputs for navigation and recent experimentalevidence showing that the activity in visual cortex is modulated by spatial information(Saleem et al 2018), the neural processes involved in visual perception and navigation havelargely been studied in isolation The goal of this project is to use experimental andcomputational techniques to explore the bidirectional communication linking visuo-spatialprocessing in the brain.
