DESCRIPTION:Lorenzo Posani\,  Columbia University\, USA\nThe brain's abil
 ity to navigate social behavior involves complex computations that may som
 etimes conflict with each other. One example is generalization compared to
  detailed memory: while abstract categories allow us to respond quickly to
  general social cues\, including whether a conspecific is novel or familia
 r\, detailed memory enables the storage and recall of complex\, multi-moda
 l social experiences. How does the brain manage these conflicting computat
 ions to enable proper social behavior? I will present recent work that com
 bines calcium imaging in the mouse hippocampal CA2 area\, known for its im
 portance in social behavior\, geometrical analysis of the population code\
 , and theoretical investigation to gain insight into the neural basis of m
 emory and generalization in social behavior.
