Thesis
Neural maps of world and behaviour in frontal-entorhinal circuits
- Abstract:
-
Intelligent, flexible behaviour requires an understanding of both the structure of the world around us and the structure of the problem we are trying to solve. Decades of research have made great progress in understanding how the brain maps the structure of physical space, but the neural mechanisms for mapping the structure of behaviour remain relatively enigmatic. In this thesis, we uncover a neural implementation of an algorithm for mapping abstract behavioural structure and transferring it...
