Sleep-dependent mechanisms of synaptic plasticity and memory consolidation
|
Oct 14, 2025 | 16:00 | BCCN Lecture Hall Philippstr 13, 10115 Berlin | ZOOM ID: 7754910236
|
Sleep plays a crucial role in regulating cortical circuits in ways that support synaptic plasticity and memory consolidation. This talk will highlight three central aspects of how sleep contributes to these processes: (I) Brain Oscillations: The characteristic rhythms of slow-wave and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep that coordinate information flows across distributed brain networks and modulate local synaptic plasticity. (II) Mechanisms Modulating Oscillations: I will explore potential mechanisms that shape these sleep-related oscillations and, in turn, influence memory consolidation. (III) Excitation-Inhibition Balance: changes in the balance between excitation and inhibition during sleep help maintain network stability and prevent information overload... read more

" In dieser Episode tauchen wir tief in die Geheimnisse unseres Gehirns ein. Gemeinsam mit den Neurowissenschaftler:innen Matthew Larkum und Rosanna Sammons vom Exzellenzcluster NeuroCure in Berlin erkunden wir, wie Nervenzellen Signale verarbeiten, was während einer Narkose mit unserem Bewusstsein passiert und warum das Gehirn ständig daran arbeitet, seine eigene Balance zu halten. Wir sprechen über faszinierende Entdeckungen wie das Cortical Coupling, die Rolle der Pyramidenzellen in unserer Wahrnehmung und die erstaunliche Fähigkeit des Gehirns, sich lebenslang anzupassen – selbst nach Verletzungen oder in neuen Lebenssituationen."

Im Exzellenzcluster NeuroCure forschen Wissenschaftler:innen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen an neurologischen und psychiatrischen Erkrankungen. Der interdisziplinäre Verbund will die Krankheitsmechanismen besser verstehen und auf Grundlage der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse neue Therapien entwickeln. Dabei vernetzen sich die Forschenden intensiv und bringen ihre gemeinsamen Aktivitäten zielgerichtet voran.
