Newsletter July 2024

Dear Members and Colleagues,

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you, and all of our neuroscience partners in and outside of Berlin, for joining our events in the first half of 2024. Please continue to send us your feedback and suggestions via the coordination office.

On behalf of Matthew and the Steering Committee, wishing you a restful summer break.

PhDPostdocs

Themed discussions

Our PhD-postdocs held a successful themed discussion on Ripples, organized by B05 PhD Maria Alcobendas. The next themed discussion, organized by B03 Postdoc Julia Ladenbauer, will focus on Excitation-inhibition balance shifts during sleep and their role in memory consolidation. Join the discussion!

Mentoring

Doctoral students within the consortium are encouraged to reach out to our teaching coordinator, as well as to our postdocs, alumni, and admin for mentoring and general assistance.
Get involved and ask us about becoming a mentee or a mentor.
Contact Darko Komnenić.
