Continually assimil ating new information without corrupting previously acquired ones may be a critical operation performed by the hippocampus\, allowing this network t o nest multiple\, co-existing memories. However\, memories typically inter act. Notably\, prior knowledge can proactively influence ongoing learning\ , and new information can retroactively modify pre-existing memories. In t his talk\, I will first present recent work investigating some of the neur onal operations that enable to incorporate new experiences in the hippocam pus network\, segregating them as discrete traces while enabling their int eraction. By embedding coactive neurons in mathematical graphs\, this work describes that mnemonic information spans multiple operational axes in th e mouse hippocampus network. High activity principal cells form the core o f each memory along a first axis\, segregating spatial contexts and novelt y. Low activity cells join coactivity motifs across behavioural events and enable their crosstalk along two other axes. I will then discuss how disc rete\, co-existing memories can be stitched together beyond direct experie nce. I will present recent work that leverages from a parallel cross-speci es approach to characterize the neural computations underlying inferential reasoning in humans and mice. In so doing\, I will discuss the idea that the mammalian hippocampus prospectively represents learned associations ne cessary for inference at the time of choice\, to then “join the dots” betw een memory items that were not directly experienced together but are logic ally related. Altogether\, these findings will notably support the idea th at short-timescale coactivity amongst hippocampal neurons act as a primary code that supports memory.\n\n \n The Killam Seminar Series at The Neuro\n \n Supported by the generosity of the Killam Trusts\, The Neuro’s Killam Se minar series hosts outstanding guest speakers whose research is of interes t to the scientific community at The Neuro and 91˿Ƶ.\n\n \n How to participate via Zoom:\n\n 1.
