DESCRIPTION:*Speaker:* Oliver Warrington\, University College 
 London (UCL)\, visiting in person. \n\n*Title:* De
 termining the direction of communication between t
 he hippocampus and neocortex with layer-specific f
 MRI.\n\n*Abstract:* Interactions between the hippo
 campus and neocortex are essential for many cognit
 ive functions\, including my main interests - perc
 eption and memory. Therefore\, a major aim of cogn
 itive neuroscience is to characterise the nature o
 f these interactions\, particularly their directio
 nality. Until recently\, this was not feasible wit
 h fMRI and remained the domain of invasive animal 
 experiments. Now\, however\, 7T fMRI offers the sp
 atial resolution for non-invasive\, layer-specific
  measures of neural activity in humans\, allowing 
 us to infer the direction of communication through
  our knowledge of the anatomical connections betwe
 en the hippocampal subfields and neocortical layer
 s. In this talk\, I will give an overview of my Ph
 D research using this method to investigate neural
  mechanisms underlying the effect of prior knowled
 ge on perception.\n\n*Bio:* Oliver Warrington is a
  PhD student with Peter Kok and Eleanor Maguire at
  the Functional Imaging Laboratory\, UCL. His work
  investigates mesoscale neural mechanisms using 7T
  layer-specific fMRI in an attempt to bridge the g
 ap between his biochemistry background and his fas
 cination with perception and memory.\n\n*Venue:* M
