DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Vijay Balasubramanian\nAbstract: In many functionally 
 distinct regions of the brain\, populations of neurons form maps of\nspace
 s that the brain seeks to represent. In the early visual system\, there is
  evidence that\nthe brain organizes such population representations effici
 ently\, minimizing the neural\nresources required to reach the fidelity ne
 cessary in representing natural stimuli\, given an\nanimal's behavioral ne
 eds. I will review this evidence\, and will then describe ongoing work\nap
 plying this principle of efficiency to the "sense of place" -- i.e. the re
 presentation of an\nanimal's physical location in the "place cell" and "gr
 id cell" systems\, which have been\ndiscovered in two parts of the brain\,
  the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex. If time\npermits\, I will conc
 lude by briefly discussing how similar analyses can shed light on the\nrep
 resentation of shape in higher visual areas\, and on the representation of
  odors in the\nolfactory system.
