On March 18, 2021, University of Texas San Antonio neuroscientists sat down with Sachin Deshmukh to talk space, environmental complexity and information flow in the entorhinal-hippocampal network. Charles J. Wilson, Francesco Savelli and Salma Quraishi chatted with him about how spatial representations arising in lateral entorhinal cortex with increasing environmental complexity are propagated through the hippocampal circuit.

Dr. Deshmukh is Wellcome Trust DBT Intermediate Fellow in the Centre for Neuroscience at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. http://www.cns.iisc.ac.in/home/people...
