My latest blog post on sex differences in navigation abilities (written in German) is now online on SciLogs!

I will be giving a talk at the World Wide NeuRise webinar series on 12 January 2022.

I had the pleasure to be interviewed about my work for the BJKS podcast.

Advances in virtual reality (VR) technology have greatly benefited spatial navigation research. By presenting space in a controlled manner, changing aspects of the environment one at a time or manipulating the gain from different sensory inputs, the …

Our new paper on learning to physically navigate an abstract quantity space is now published in Scientific Reports.

Environmental boundaries anchor cognitive maps that support memory. However, trapezoidal boundary geometry distorts the regular firing patterns of entorhinal grid cells, proposedly providing a metric for cognitive maps. Here we test the impact of …

The hippocampal-entorhinal region forms cognitive maps of learned relations. Environmental boundaries are central to spatial orientation. However, trapezoidal boundary geometry distorts the regular firing patterns of entorhinal grid cells that …

Our new preprint on learning to physically navigate an abstract quantity space is now on bioRxiv.
