How sleep and the hippocampus shape our memories
In short: Explore the neural mechanisms behind how we encode time and space. This lecture examines the vital connection between sleep and memory formation.
Part of the MIT RES.9-003 course, this lecture explores the hippocampus's role in developing spatial and episodic memory. It investigates how the brain encodes temporal sequences and details the experimental methods used to record neurons across multiple brain areas simultaneously.
