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\nRegister Now\n\n\nBehaviour\, Brain Computation\, and Evolutio
 n\n\nAbstract: Using recent experimental work on cephalopod camouflage and
  reptilian sleep as examples\, Gilles Laurent will illustrate the importan
 ce of combining not only technical approaches\, but also diverse perspecti
 ves\, to understand the design and operation of brains.\n\nGilles 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 the Royal Soci
 ety at the University of Cambridge (UK)\, he joined the faculty of the Bio
 logy Division at the California Institute of Technology in 1990\, where he
  spent 20 years. In 2009\, he became a Director at the Max Planck Institut
 e for Brain Research in Frankfurt\, Germany\, where he is currently based.
 \n\nGilles Laurent’s research focuses on identifying fundamental principle
 s of brain function and circuit dynamics\, using a broad range of experime
 ntal and computational approaches. His early work on insect olfaction reve
 aled low-dimensional neural manifolds as organizing principles of coding s
 paces in the brain. His research interests span olfactory computation\, mo
 tor control\, vision (including texture perception and camouflage)\, sleep
 \, and brain evolution.\n
