DESCRIPTION:I will present a number of studies where we have tried to look
  at how basic models of the world are stored in the brain to allow flexibl
 e control of behaviour.  These studies try to investigate neural codes and
  mechanisms that are used to organise this knowledge in a form that can be
  used efficiently and flexibly. I will mostly focus on interactions betwee
 n frontal cortex and the medial temporal lobe\, but might occasionally str
 ay into sensory cortices.   The neuronal codes and mechanisms I will be ta
 lking about are often stolen from or related to studies in animal models\,
  so there might also be some methodological interest in how we can go abou
 t measuring more mechanistic types of signals in humans. \n\n\nBiography\n
 Tim Behrens works at Oxford and UCL and is a Wellcome Trust Fellow.  He ha
 s made some contributions to our understanding of the computations perform
 ed by the frontal cortex in humans and other mammals.  He has also been in
 terested in measuring brain connections in and in understanding relationsh
 ips between the connectivity of brain regions and their function\,  and re
 lationships between the brain connectivity of humans and that of other mam
 mals. \n
