Dear Members and Colleagues,
|
|
|
January's newsletter is packed with news and events: we celebrate the 2023 Brenda Milner Award to Alexandra Tzilivaki, inspire with a new alumni interview, announce upcoming INF events and several new publications, and much more.
|
|
|
Now that most projects have hired new members, we would like to extend a very warm welcome to new postdocs, phds & student helpers. Looking forward to working together and wishing you all peace, health and productive collaborations in 2023!

Noam Nitzan (A02 alumnus)
"My graduate work made me appreciate that in order to understand hippocampal function and its involvement in memory one has to look beyond the hippocampus. It therefore set the stage for my postdoctoral work, where I examine signal flow in the extended hippocampal network, including subcortical hippocampal targets"
|
"I was very privileged during my PhD to receive abundant mentoring, not only from my PI but also from colleagues in the lab and even from neighboring labs. I’d be happy to share my experience with students."

We are very pleased to announce that Alexandra Tzilivaki has been awarded the Brenda Milner Award 2023 with a monetary award of 15000 EUR, for project consumables and/ travel. Alexandra is a PhD student at the ECN Berlin, and is conducting doctoral research in the lab of Dietmar Schmitz at the Charité. Alexandra performed her predoctoral research in the lab of Yiota Poirazi on so-called active dendrites in inhibitory interneurons, and challenged the point neuron dogma that has dominated the field for decades. Specifically, she developed, and used state-of-the-art
|
|
|
biological plausible computational models of hippocampal and neocortical interneurons. She predicted that these cells are capable of complex nonlinear dendritic computations that can advance their computational capabilities during memory engram formation (Nat Commun, 2019). Her doctoral research endeavors to understand how different interneuron subtypes contribute to memory-related oscillatory rhythms, namely sharp-wave ripples in the hippocampus.
