DESCRIPTION:Established in 1935\, the Hughlings Jackson Lecture is The Neur
 o’s premier scientific lecture. It honours the legacy of British neurologi
 st John Hughlings Jackson (1835-1911) who pioneered the development of neu
 rology as a medical specialty. A reception will follow for registered atte
 ndees.\n\n\nRegistration coming soon.\n\n\nBehaviour\, Brain Computation\,
  and Evolution\n\nAbstract: Using recent experimental work on cephalopod c
 amouflage and reptilian sleep as examples\, Gilles Laurent will illustrate
  the importance of combining not only technical approaches\, but also dive
 rse perspectives\, to understand the design and operation of brains.\n\nGi
 lles Laurent\n\n Gilles Laurent grew up in Morocco and France and holds a 
 Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine as well as a PhD in Neuroethology. After 
 completing a postdoctoral fellowship and a Locke Research Fellowship of th
 e Royal Society at the University of Cambridge (UK)\, he joined the facult
 y of the Biology Division at the California Institute of Technology in 199
 0\, where he spent 20 years. In 2009\, he became a Director at the Max Pla
 nck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt\, Germany\, where he is curr
 ently based.\n\nGilles Laurent’s research focuses on identifying fundament
 al principles of brain function and circuit dynamics\, using a broad range
  of experimental and computational approaches. His early work on insect ol
 faction revealed low-dimensional neural manifolds as organizing principles
  of coding spaces in the brain. His research interests span olfactory comp
 utation\, motor control\, vision (including texture perception and camoufl
 age)\, sleep\, and brain evolution.\n
