Newsletter February 2021

Dear Members and Colleagues,

This issue features just a few of the many upcoming hightlights: lectures by Eve Marder and György Buzsáki, joint symposia in planning with Bochum memory consortia and a recent project publication authored by no less than six B03 members!

For twitterers, follow #SFB1315 and #BerlinBrains2021 for latest news. We also hope you will follow METIS, where we pool resources with our 18 DFG project partners!

Differential resilience to perturbations of circuits with similar performance

Both computational and experimental results in single neurons and small networks demonstrate that very similar network function can result from quite disparate sets of neuronal and network parameters. Using the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system, we study the influence of these differences in underlying structure on differential resilience of individuals to a variety of environmental perturbations, including changes in temperature, pH, potassium concentration and neuromodulation. We show that neurons with many different kinds of ion channels can smoothly move through different mechanisms in generating their activity patterns, thus extending their dynamic range.
