Originating Calendar: Neuroscience Program Seminars; Some findings suggest that representations of the world in the brain are not fixed, however, these results remain controversial. We used a multisensory virtual reality system to control for changes in behavior and sensory experience and found that hippocampal representations of space do indeed drift over time. We will discuss problems my lab is tackling to better understand drift and its consequences.
