Thanks to all who made the 5th annual Berlin-Bochum Memory Alliance symposium a success, also to Lisa Velenosi coordinated the early career programme.This month, we also join in celebrating 7 more years of excellence with the renewal of the Berlin University Alliance (BUA, 2027 - 2033). Learn about strategic foci of the network in BUA's self assessment report, and about the science hub, Berlin in Brain City Berlin.

Livestream event – KI in Studium und Lehre
April 22, 2026 | 12-13:30 | ZOOM ID: 617 6092 9836, Passwort: 278259
|
The strong interest in the recent “Zukunftswerkstatt” highlighted how important the topic of artificial intelligence has become within the university community. This livestream event will revisit the key insights that emerged from the workshop and open a discussion about additional AI-related questions that may not yet have been addressed. It will also explore possible future directions for how the university could engage with AI in the years ahead.

Chasing dopamine off the beaten path: A smells, heterogeneity, plasticity and learning story
April 14, 2025 | 4:00 pm CET | BCCN Lecture Hall Philippstraße 13, 10115 | ZOOM ID: 7754910236
|
|
Dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb play an important role in early sensory processing by modulating synaptic gain and exhibiting remarkable plasticity. These neurons are highly heterogeneous in their responses to sensory deprivation: some undergo structural and excitability changes, others primarily adjust their synaptic connections, and some can even regenerate throughout life. >> Read more

Open Research Environment (ORE) supports the transition toward more open and digital research practices. It promotes open access to publications, transparent data sharing, and sustainable research infrastructures, aiming to improve the accessibility, visibility, and reproducibility of publicly funded research. Starting in 2026, Germany will participate in the Open Research Europe (ORE) platform, enabling researchers at German institutions to publish their work as open access free of charge. With the DFG acting as a country-level member, submissions will be open to all researchers regardless of funding status, with submissions expected to begin in autumn 2026.... Read more here >

Wie verarbeiten wir Sinneseindrücke? Die elektrische Hirnstimulation hilft, die Funktionsweise des Gehirns besser zu verstehen.
|
April 17, 2026 | 19:30 Uhr | Zeiss-Großplanetarium, Prenzlauer Allee 80, 10405 Berlin
|
Mikroplastik ist buchstäblich in aller Munde. Kleine Kunststoffpartikel gelangen über den Darm in viele Gewebe, unter anderem das Gehirn. Wie wirken sie dort? Und lassen sie sich wieder entfernen? Forschende vom Max Delbrück Center für Molekulare Medizin (MDC) in Berlin entwickeln Methoden, um die Aufnahme von Mikro- und Nanoplastik-Partikeln mithilfe von Mini-Gehirnmodellen nachzustellen und deren Einflüsse auf die Zellfunktion zu ergründen.>> Berlin Brains

Paula Leupold, Florian Bartsch, Georg Braune: Arbeitsgruppe Systembiologie von Gen-regulatorischen Elementen, MDC. Yi-Ming Zhang: Technologie-Plattform für Proteomik und Metabolomik, MDC.
