Love and Philosophy | The Importance of Place with neuroscientist Richard Morris (Edinburgh) & philosopher Andrea Hiott @waymaking23 | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
HIPPOCAMPUS SPOTLIGHT: A conversation on navigation and memory with Richard Morris, a neuroscientist known for his groundbreaking work on memory and the development of the Morris Water Maze. Andrea's research into the early years of hippocampus/navigation research illuminates Morris's early career and interactions with notable scientists like John O'Keefe and Lynn Nadel, touching on previous discussions about The Hippocampus as a Cognitive Map and topics including place cells, longterm potentiation, and the hippocampal role in spatial memory and learning. Discover the fascinating trajectory of Morris's career from Sussex University to St. Andrews, and his contributions towards various aspects of memory, research including Alzheimer's research. Learn how modern techniques like calcium imaging and optogenetics are pushing the boundaries of our understanding of memory and cognition.
