Marina Mikhaylova and Nathalie Hertrich's Berlin Brain's talk at the Planetarium this week is testimony that passion for science can be seriously infectious! Join talks online in December with Magdelana Skipper (nature.com) and in person with Silvia Viana da Silva (DZNE) at BCCN. See you there!

Disorganized spike timing as an early feature of Alzheimer’s disease
December 19, 2023 | 4 pm | BCCN Lecture Hall Philippstraße 13 Haus 6, 10115 Berlin + ZOOM Meeting-ID: 775 491 0236

Deficits in spatial navigation are among the early symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease patients, consistent with the hippocampal formation as the site for spatial computations and disease onset. Although the correspondence between the early symptoms and brain regions that are affected early in the disease has been recognized, it is not clear whether progressive cognitive decline is solely caused by a spreading pathology or whether a focal pathology can by itself cause aberrant neuronal activity in a larger network.

How publishers can make research more inclusive
December 12, 2023 | 5 pm | ZOOM Meeting-ID: 775 491 0236
|
|
Seventy-five years ago, universal declaration of human rights proclaimed that having access to the benefits of science is a fundamental human right (article 27). To achieve this important goal, science and the research community must become more diverse and more inclusive. Why? Because science can only be done for all if it is also done by all. Scientific publishers and editors have an important role in achieving this goal, and I will illustrate these points using examples of what we publish and how we work across the Nature Portfolio, in partnership with the scientific community.
