Event:

Neurons in the entorhinal cortex generate grid like representations of location. These spatial representations co-exist with theta and gamma frequency network oscillations. The synaptic and circuit mechanisms for computing location and for simultaneous generation of network oscillations are unclear. I will talk about experimental and modelling work that in addressing this issue provides evidence that spatial representations and network oscillations originate from shared cellular mechanisms. I will then discuss work that addresses the relationship between excitatory and inhibitory synaptic strength, gamma oscillations and computation.
