Dear all,
I just heard about this project in a recent presentation by Felix Schürmann. It sounds great. Our lab does human neuroimaging (high resolution functional MRI), and we distinguish CA1 from the other subfields. I am wondering if your project could eventually contribute to a generative model to help us explain our observations. Specifically, I have three questions:
A. Human / primate CA1 is characterised by vast connectivity with cortex, as well as input from within the hippocampus. Do you distinguish intrinsic / extrinsic CA1 connections in your model?
B. Are you modelling longitudinal (dorso-ventral) CA1 fibres?
C. Are you limiting the project to CA1, or are you planning to model all subfields? And if the latter, how many years of work do you think this will be, before there’s the basis of a working model?
All the best,
Peter
