DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Haibing Xu\nAbstract: Reactivation of Hippocampal Cogn
 itive Map in Goal-directed Spatial Tasks  \nAbstract:\nThe ability of form
 ing autobibliographical memories of lifetime events and\, thus\, rememberi
 ng what we did\, where and when it happened is one of the most remarkable 
 abilities of the brain. The hippocampus is known to be essential for such 
 memories but it is also implicated in multiple forms of spatial memories\,
  including both short-term working memory and long-term reference memory. 
 However\, little is known about the specific neural mechanisms that allow 
 this circuit to code and store new spatial information. Haibing used a com
 bination of techniques\, including large scale multi-electrode recordings 
 and behavioral paradigms on a radial eight-arm maze to understand how the 
 brain\, and in particular the hippocampus learns and remembers spatial mem
 ories. In this talk\, he will explain how spatial memory traces are encode
 d during learning and how transient recollections of learned spatial paths
  of the maze\, as expressed by the activity of hippocampal neurons\, might
  help the animal to solve spatial tasks. \nBiographical sketch: Haibing re
 ceived a Medical Degree in 2008 and a Master’s of Science Degree in Neuro
 pharmacology in 2011 from Nanjing Medical University in China. After that\
 , he joined the Csicsvari Group at IST Austria\, where he dedicated himsel
 f to study the neural bases of spatial learning and memory.  Specifically\
 , he has focused on elucidating the role of hippocampal network activity r
 elating to specific types of spatial memories and task demand\, involving 
 short-term working and longer-term reference memories.
