Prior, M. J., Bast, T., McGarrity, S., Goldschmidt, J., Vincenz, D., Seaton, A., …Pitiot, A. (2021). Ratlas-LH: An MRI template of the Lister hooded rat brain with stereotaxic coordinates for neurosurgical implantations. Brain and Neuroscience Advances, 5,

There is currently no brain atlas available to specifically determine stereotaxic coordinates for neurosurgery in Lister hooded rats despite the popularity of this strain for behavioural neuroscience studies in the UK and elsewhere. We have created a... Read More about Ratlas-LH: An MRI template of the Lister hooded rat brain with stereotaxic coordinates for neurosurgical implantations.

Reinforcement Learning approaches to hippocampus-dependent flexible spatial navigation (2021)
Journal Article
Bast, T., Coombes, S., O’Dea, R., & Tessereau, C. (2021). Reinforcement Learning approaches to hippocampus-dependent flexible spatial navigation. Brain and Neuroscience Advances, 5, https://doi.org/10.1177/2398212820975634

Humans and non-human animals show great flexibility in spatial navigation, including the ability to return to specific locations based on as few as one single experience. To study spatial navigation in the laboratory, watermaze tasks, in which rats h... Read More about Reinforcement Learning approaches to hippocampus-dependent flexible spatial navigation.

Individual differences in theta-band oscillations in a spatial memory network revealed by electroencephalography predict rapid place learning (2021)
Journal Article
Bauer, M., Buckley, M. G., & Bast, T. (2021). Individual differences in theta-band oscillations in a spatial memory network revealed by electroencephalography predict rapid place learning. Brain and Neuroscience Advances, 5, 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1177/23982128211002725

Spatial memory has been closely related to the medial temporal lobe (MTL) and theta-oscillations are thought to play a key role. However, it remains difficult to investigate MTL activation related to spatial memory with non-invasive electrophysiologi...
