How does our brain organize memories to plan future behaviour?
In this episode, I feature a paper by Shahbaba and colleagues who leveraged complex behavioural and statistical machine learning approaches to uncover the fundamental mechanisms by which our brain organizes memories into sequences. This research constitutes a critical early step in understanding memory failure in cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
