I decided to study spatial navigation, because it is a cognitive process with a behavioural readout that allows us to design experiments to dissect the underlying circuitry, and potentially understand how the brain calculates where we are. My main aim in my PhD is to understand the role of the deep medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) in spatial navigation, more specifically in path integration. To achieve that, I perform in vivo electrophysiology recordings in behaving mice, and look at the anatomy of the deep MEC.
