Many thanks to SFB1280 Speaker Onur Güntürkün and FOR2812 Speaker Sen Cheng for hosting the 4th annual Berlin-Bochum Memory Alliance (BBMA) Symposium in Bochum. Scientific talks, new initiatives and an invited talk by Michael Hasselmo were complemented with a lively social programme and warm hospitality. We would also like to thank our Berlin Brains speakers Livia de Hoz (A09) and Carolin Gehr who had a great turnout and engaging discussion. And last but not least, thanks to speakers from Berlin and Bochum who gave inspiring talks at our 4th annual GirlsDay event in Berlin in person!

Looking ahead, we hope to see you at our SFB1315 lectures with Ray Dolan (May 14, BCCN), Ariel Gilad (June 4, CCO) and at our mid-year meeting (June 18 BCCN).

SFB1315 Events in May and June 2024

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.

Outreach: Project Videos

SFB1315 Speaker Matthew Larkum, together and sub-project members are working hard to produce project videos for SFB projects. B05 (below left) and A04 (below right) videos are now online, and A07's video is in planning. More updates and plans for project videos will be shared at our business meeting in June.
