معرفی
Vincent Hok is a Lecturer at the Laboratoire de Neurosciences Cognitives (LNC) at Aix Marseille Université, where he conducts research in cognitive neuroscience with a focus on spatial cognition and hippocampal function. His work primarily investigates how neural systems support spatial navigation, memory formation, and cognitive mapping in rodent models.
Dr. Hok's research interests center on spatial cognition, hippocampal function, and neural coding mechanisms. His work explores how place cells and head-direction cells in the hippocampus and related brain structures represent spatial information, how these representations change during learning and memory tasks, and how stress and aging affect these neural systems. He employs sophisticated electrophysiological recording techniques to examine neural activity patterns during spatial navigation tasks, contributing significantly to our understanding of how the brain creates cognitive maps of the environment.
His publication record shows consistent research output since 2004, with a focus on spatial navigation systems, hippocampal place cells, and the neural basis of memory. Dr. Hok's collaborative work spans multiple institutions and demonstrates expertise in both experimental neuroscience and computational analysis of neural data. His research has appeared in high-impact journals including Journal of Neuroscience, European Journal of Neuroscience, and Progress in Neurobiology.
Dr. Hok has maintained a productive research program through collaborations with prominent researchers in the field including Bruno Poucet, Etienne Save, and Shane O'Mara. His work bridges experimental neuroscience with computational approaches to understand fundamental mechanisms of spatial cognition and memory.
