Welcome to the Collaborative Research Center 1315

How does the brain transform neural representations into a new framework of prior experience? And how are these evolving brain states – what we call memory consolidation, maintained over time?

Watch our Spokesperson and A04, A10, and Z project leader - Matthew Larkum - introduce the Collaborative Research Center 1315.

Research Highlights as Smartfigures

The Collaborative Research Centre publishes research results as Smart Figures. These interactive visualisations make it possible to present complex data and findings in a clear and understandable way in order to provide researchers worldwide with easier access to the latest findings.

Research areas and Projects

The CRC’s A and B clusters are supported by service projects in C. In collaboration, these clusters investigate overarching conceptual questions in diverse organisms and systems.
