Integration from trained to natural behaviors
|
May 13, 2025 4:00 pm CET | BCCN Lecture Hall Philippstraße 13, 10115 | ZOOM ID: 7754910236
|
|
To survive in an uncertain and dynamic environment, animals need to integrate the relevant information in their environment. Systems neuroscientists have conventionally simplified and made this problem more tractable by studying trained behaviors where they train animals to integrate sensory evidence. This idealization has allowed neuroscientific investigation into neural mechanisms underlying integration. .... Read more >>

When we touch hot sand or hold an ice pop, we instantly recognize whether it’s warm or cold. But how does our brain achieve this remarkable ability? Where and how are temperature signals processed?
|
|
|
|
|
This week, Dr. Svenja Steinfelder and Gamze Güney explained how the brain processes sensory information about temperature to protect us from burning our fingers or suffering frostbite. Moderation: Dr. Jochen Müller.

GEM 2025 - Generative Episodic Memory
|
June 2 - 4, 2025 | Ruhr University Bochum | Universitätsstraße 150, 44801 Bochum

|
|
Episodic memories are widely regarded as memories of personally experienced events. Early concepts about episodic memory were based on the storage model, according to which experiential content is preserved in memory and later retrieved. However, overwhelming empirical evidence suggests that the content of episodic memory is – at least to a certain degree – constructed in the act of remembering. [...] Read more here >>
