Dear Members and Colleagues,

We hope your summer semester is going well! Please join us in congratulating SFB1315 Speaker Matthew Larkum and his lab for receiving an ERC Advanced Grant!

May highlights include a lecture series talk by Melanie Sekeres (U Ottawa), a Neuroscience Colloquium talk by Loren Frank (UCSF), and a Berlin Brains talk by Jean-Sébastien Jouhanneau and Clarissa Whitmire (MDC).

Hope to see many of you again soon!

Cells to systems: Imaging the neural basis of memory transformation

SFB1315 lecture, May 10, 2022 | 16:00 | ZOOM ID: 7754910236

The hippocampus is a critical brain structure involved in the acquisition and initial consolidation of episodic (event) and episodic-like memories in humans and rodents, though its continued role in supporting memory retrieval is a long-debated issue. Soon after memory acquisition, event memories tend to be detailed, precise, and contextually-specific. Over time, however, memories tend to lose detail and precision, and what is retained is a more generalized version of the memory.

Girl'sDay2022 was a success! Thanks so much to our inspiring Berlin-Bochum Memory Alliance speakers. In the words of a participating 9th grader:

"Girl’sday 2022 was a great experience, and held open many opportunities. Amazing scientists told us about their career, about problems, and memory research. We were also able to interact and ask questions, which I really liked. Furthermore the scientists all had a different message for us to take with us, which changed my perspective on neuroscience and made me more comfortable in my plans working in this field and doing brain research. Thank you so much for this delightful experience, T.K. 9.Klasse (Leipzig)"

The 7th season of the Charité and Urania's collaboration is presented by ECN, NeuroCure, MDC, SFB1315, and BCCN Berlin.

Let's take a cold hard look at how the brain represents temperature

Dr. Jean-Sébastien Jouhanneau, Dr. Clarissa Whitmire
Max-Delbrück-Centrum für molekulare Medizin (MDC)

It feels very natural to touch an object and immediately identify whether it is warm or cold. But how does this actually work? As natural as sensing temperature may seem to us, we still don’t know how and where the brain makes sense of temperature information.
