Remembering event sequences is central to episodic memory and presumably supported by the hippocampal-entorhinal region. We previously demonstrated that the hippocampus maps spatial and temporal distances between events encountered along a route …

My new paper with Lorena Deuker and Christian Doeller is now out in eLife!

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 …

Here is another update to my preprint on temporal mapping in the entorhinal cortex!

My abstract for a talk at the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience was accepted.

I have updated my preprint on how distorted grid-cell firing patterns might deform our memory on bioRxiv!

Hippocampal-entorhinal codes for space, time and cognition How do we remember important events? Focusing on episodic memory, I explored the idea that coding principles discovered in spatial navigation research are shared across cognitive domains. The hippocampal-entorhinal region might support our memory through the mapping of cognitive spaces; allowing us to remember where and when events occurred. Cognitive maps stored in memory can guide behavior through the simulation of possible future trajectories.
