Some of the collaborative activities following 'The contribution of hippocampal neural circuits to memory and spatial cognition:听Recent insights, emerging technologies and future directions' workshop
Collaborative activities since the workshop:
鈥�...collaboration with听French groups and dialogue with the French neuroscientific community has really been boosted via the workshop
Francesca Cacucci, Professor of Neuroscience, 皇家华人euroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology
听
- As a result of the workshop, Prof. Francesca Cacucci was invited to be a speaker at听the听, and will join another meeting in Marseille in June 2019.听This has provided further opportunity to discuss potential collaborations which will likely result in joint grant applications.
- The workshop has boosted collaboration and dialogue between the UCL academics听and the French groups involved and the French neuroscientific community in general.
- In听May 2017听Dr Pepe Lenck-Santini (from the INSERM in Marseille) gave a seminar on 'Early Sharp Waves and Oscillations in the Neonatal Rat Hippocampus'听as part of the Neuroscience, Physiology听and听Pharmacology听Departmental听Seminar Series.
- During Dr Cacucci鈥檚 visit to Marseille in late October, it was agreed that the three researchers would embark into a scientific collaboration involving the study in the physiology of the hippocampus during early postnatal development.听Dr Caswell Barry and Dr Karim Benchenane agreed to work on a collaborative project exploring the timing of hippocampal firing and its relationship to memory formation.
- Dr Francesca Cacucci has agreed to be involved in editing a Frontiers in Neuroscience Topic, together with Dr Jerome Epztein and Dr Vincent Hok (both based in Marseille, France) on 鈥楶lace cells and the Neurophysiology of the Hippocampus鈥�. The intention of this initiative is to collate recent research insights into the neurophysiology of the hippocampus (around 30 articles will be commissioned from hippocampal scholars). The topic in the Frontiers in Neuroscience.
