Memory Image Completion task
For memory retrieval, pattern completion is a crucial process that restores memories from partial or degraded cues. Neurocognitive aging models suggest that the aged…
Manual segmentation of MTL subregions
Recent advances in MRI and increasing knowledge on the characterization and anatomical variability of medial temporal lobe (MTL) anatomy have paved the way for…
How can we improve navigational abilities?
Problems with spatial orientation are common among older adults, which can severely compromise their mobility and social participation. In addition, 6 out…
How can we improve the assessment of cognitive decline?
There is a growing need for early detection of neurodegenerative disorders through the use of biomarkers. To improve the assessment of…
How aging and preclinical dementia affect our sense of direction
In surveys, elderly people often report substantial declines in navigational abilities, which can severely restrict their mobility…
HD-Coding
Knowing one's facing direction in the environment is fundamental for accurate navigation. In the rodent, a network of head direction (HD) cells code for this information by showing…
Neural and behavioural mechanisms of human spatial navigation
Finding our way in the world is a particularly complex behaviour, because it involves perceiving spatial information from multiple…
Treating psychiatric disorders with Interactive Virtual Reality
In addition to cognitive deficits, aging is often accompanied by emotional disturbances. For example, social anxiety disorder (SAD)…
Research Topics
Our research pursues four overall aims. Firstly, we characterise neural and behavioural mechanisms of human spatial navigation. In 2014, the Nobel prize in Medicine/Physiology…
