Mohamady El-Gaby
Postdoctoral Neuroscientist
I'm a Neuroscientist investigating the cellular basis of cognitive maps. I record, manipulate and model neuronal activity in medial prefrontal and hippocampal circuits in rodents learning abstract rules. The aim is to understand, at the cellular level, how abstract cognitive maps form and how they interact with spatial maps in the hippocampus to guide flexible behaviour.
