Title

New hippocampal circuits for novelty

Abstract

Yes, hippocampal area CA2 really exists! It has unique hypothalamic input from the supramammilary nucleus that plays a role in social novelty detection. I will tell you more about this, as well as the local CA2 circuit and plasticity that allows new social experience to be remembered.

PhD seminars are organized by Bordeaux Neurocampus, NBA and Bordeaux Neurocampus Graduate Program
