DESCRIPTION:*Speaker:* Oliver Warrington\, University College London (UCL)
 \, visiting in person. \n\n*Title:* Determining the direction of communica
 tion between the hippocampus and neocortex with layer-specific fMRI.\n\n*A
 bstract:* Interactions between the hippocampus and neocortex are essential
  for many cognitive functions\, including my main interests - perception a
 nd memory. Therefore\, a major aim of cognitive neuroscience is to charact
 erise the nature of these interactions\, particularly their directionality
 . Until recently\, this was not feasible with fMRI and remained the domain
  of invasive animal experiments. Now\, however\, 7T fMRI offers the spatia
 l resolution for non-invasive\, layer-specific measures of neural activity
  in humans\, allowing us to infer the direction of communication through o
 ur knowledge of the anatomical connections between the hippocampal subfiel
 ds and neocortical layers. In this talk\, I will give an overview of my Ph
 D research using this method to investigate neural mechanisms underlying t
 he effect of prior knowledge on perception.\n\n*Bio:* Oliver Warrington is
  a PhD student with Peter Kok and Eleanor Maguire at the Functional Imagin
 g Laboratory\, UCL. His work investigates mesoscale neural mechanisms usin
 g 7T layer-specific fMRI in an attempt to bridge the gap between his bioch
 emistry background and his fascination with perception and memory.\n\n*Ven
