Newsletter April 2024

Dear Members and Colleagues,

We hope to see many of you Friday 12.04.2024, for our Berlin Brains talk at the Urania with Livia de Hoz (A09) and Carolin Gehr: "Dein Gehirn hört immer zu" (in German). Also this month, the Berlin-Bochum Memory Alliance will host its 4th annual symposium 21-22.04.2024 in Bochum and its 4th annual Girls'Day event 25.04.2024 in Berlin. Looking ahead, please mark your calendars and spread the news: the SFB's annual business meeting, lecture + BBQ will take place at BCCN, June 18, 2024.

Wishing you all a successful start to the summer semester!

SFB1315 Events

Neural replay, sharp wave ripples and cognition

May 14, 2024 | 4:00 pm CET | ZOOM ID: 7754910236
An ability to build structured mental maps of the world is central to human intelligence.
In rodents, the consolidation and extension of cognitive map representations is supported by sequential hippocampal place cell reactivations during rest, known as replay. These events occur in the context of transient high frequency ripple oscillations in the hippocampal local field potential, and default mode network (DMN) activation at the whole brain level. Recent developments in my lab now enable a precise measurement of neuronal representations in humans, including their fast sequential reactivation (neural replay). I will consider the role of replay in relation to human cognition, including how different types of replay support discrete function, as well as the implications of disorganized replay.

4th Annual Berlin-Bochum Memory Alliance: Girls’Day 2024

Apr 25, 2024 | 09:00–15:30

A campus tour, lab visit(s) and several lectures by alliance scientists! Registration is complete. View the programme on our website >> and share the poster.

Outreach: Berlin Brains

Dein Gehirn hört immer zu

April 12, 2024 | 19:30 | Urania, An der Urania 17, 10787 Berlin (in German)

Listen as Livia de Hoz and Carolin Gehr from the Neuroscience Research Center at Charité Universitätsmedizin use acoustic examples to show how the brain distinguishes relevant from irrelevant signals and how this affects our auditory experience.
April 21-22, 2024 | Ruhr University Bochum
The Berlin-Bochum memory alliance looks forward to sharing research highlights, discussing topics of mutual interest, and visiting the labs in Bochum at the upcoming symposium.
