We hypothesize that the neural resources for spatial and non-spatial memory can be selectively mobilised in a network-specific manner. Our research strategy consists in targeting distinct entorhino-hippocampal subnetworks, deploying exogenous (Deep Brain Stimulation, optogenetics) and endogenous stimulation (cognitive training) using a cross-species approach and, characterising at the single-cell and whole-brain levels the physiological mechanisms underlying this mobilisation.
