How the brain represents and uses ‘sensory space’–uncovering the fundamental multimodal memory units
Postdoc

Dániel Schlingloff, University of Copenhagen, has been awarded a postdoc research grant from the Lundbeck Foundation worth DKK 3.020.000
Our project explores how the brain combines sensory information to predict and adapt to a changing world. Focusing on the hippocampus, we study how neurons create mental maps from spatial and non-spatial sensory inputs—essential for navigation, memory, and learning. By using advanced recording methods and models of diseases like Alzheimer’s, we aim to understand how sensory processing disruptions lead to cognitive decline, guiding the development of new treatments.
