A Two-Day-Retreat with Members and Associated Members of the Bernstein Center Freiburg, Sep 23-25, 2024

Zainab Chokr erhielt für ihre Masterarbeit: "Analysis of learning processes in brain networks using coarse graining of graphs and spectral graph theory" den Alumnipreis 2024 des Instituts für Physik der Universität Freiburg.

Several cortical mechanisms have been proposed to explain the neuronal basis of short-term memory; however, the community has not reached a consensus yet. A recent publication in Hippocampus reports that hippocampal activity contains information about past behavior in brief sporadically spread, time intervals.

In 2024, the Bernstein-CorTec Award 2024 will be conferred for a PhD thesis.

eLife assessment: This important work presents an interesting perspective for the generation and interpretation of phase precession in the hippocampal formation. Through numerical simulations and comparison to experiments, the study provides a convincing theoretical framework explaining the segregation of sequences reflecting navigation and sequences reflecting internal dynamics in the DG-CA3 loop. This study will be of interest for researchers in the spatial navigation and computational neuroscience fields.

The Call for the Bernstein-CorTec Award 2023 is open. This year, the Award will be conferred for an outstanding Master Thesis in the field of Computational Neuroscience and Neurotechnology at the University of Freiburg.

New publication in the Journal of Neuroscience: In a cooperation with the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Freiburg researchers uncover how our auditory system is filtering out unwanted activity.
