The neural circuitry supporting successful spatial navigation despite variable movement speeds, how the retrosplenial cortex helps us navigate and how it is altered in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and Running speed alters the frequency of hippocampal gamma oscillations.
Prof. Omar Ahmed is an Assistant Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. His lab studies the neuroscience of spatial navigation and memory, and how these neural systems are altered in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.
