this is really interesting, where/how did you learn this?
I'd like to learn more about these things - brain regions, connections, functions - and what they might imply about the kinds of computations that are going on, but my background is mainly on the AI/math side of things.
- SubiculumCode 10y agoMy dissertational research was on the development of the subfields of the hippocampus in childhood. So these papers from the rat literature were relevant and often inspiring.
- SubiculumCode 10y agoI'd like to add that our knowledge of the details of hippocampal neuroanatomy are probably the most advanced of any brain region, which allows the somewhat informed construction of computational models. I wish I had more time to learn modeling methods, I have specific developmental hypotheses I'd like to test in such a model. In the end, I'd probably need to find a knowledgable collaborator though.
