Newsletter April 2021

Dear Members and Colleagues,

April 2021 marks the launch of internal reviews of 2022-2026 project proposals. If you haven't done so, mark your calendars for the DFG's assessment of SFB1315/2 on December 8-9, 2021. In this issue of recent news and upcoming events, we would like to share a kind reminder to our members and associates: If your sub-project has not yet hosted a speaker in the SFB1315 lecture series, please send your ideas and suggestions to the Coordination Office for our 2022 series.

Neural circuits and neurophysiology for learning and memory

In humans and animals, episodic memory requires the concerted association of objects, space and time coordinated by the entorhinal cortex (EC)-hippocampal (HPC) network. It remains unknown how the EC-HPC network spatially and temporally associates the diverse set of information (where, what, when and who) in a single episode. Using advanced mouse genetics combined with viral tracing, in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology, in vivo calcium imaging and optogenetics, I search specific neuronal circuits for encoding each components (where, what, when and who) of episodic memory.

Takashi Kitamura's talk is hosted by A05 PI, James Poulet. See Poster
