Parallel planning as a resource for human skill learning and memory (C03)

• Subject Area: Human Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 425899996

The ability to anticipate and plan events in a certain order is essential for many daily activities. Our goal is to reveal trainable and transferrable representations of serial order for memory, navigation, and skilled movement in the human brain, and identify their reserve potential in the face of tau pathology in medial temporal lobe. Following a multidimensional approach including magnetoencephalography, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and PET imaging, we will uncover macroscopic circuits representing serial order that are shared across domains in young and elderly individuals.
