My lab is interested in the neural basis of spatial cognition. This is an interesting area for many  reasons, not least of which is that our ability to navigate is intimately tied up with the ability to remember events.

We mainly study animal (mostly rat and mouse) navigation - and are interested in how neurons encode information about the environment the animal is in and where it is within it. More information about the lab and our work  is available from the links on the left.
