My name is Apoorv, I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the Brandon lab at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. I am interested in understanding how the brain infers the external and internal stimuli-based representation of the environment affecting spatial memory and cognition. Before joining the Brandon lab, I completed my PhD with Dr. Yoganarasimha Doreswamy at the National Brain Research Centre, Manesar, India. My PhD research focussed on investigating the role of Subiculum, Presubiculum and Parasubiculum (also called the Subicular Complex, SC) in spatial information processing in awake-behaving rats using multi-tetrode neurophysiological techniques.  In my postdoctoral research work in Brandon lab, I plan to further investigate the SC’s role during reorientation of the animal's internal spatial representation. For this, I use in-vivo miniscope calcium imaging and neurophysiology techniques coupled with optogenetic and chemogenetic manipulation methods along with advanced computational methods and behavioural analyses.
