Lichtenberg Professor Marlene Bartos from the Institute for Physiology I and the Bernstein Center of the University of Freiburg and colleagues Peer Wulff from the University of Aberdeen and William Wisden from the Imperial College London describe how they were able to specifically switch off inhibiting “interneurons” in the hippocampus of mice - and how this affected the animals' memory formation.

Nature Reviews Neuroscience publishes article by BCF members
-
Reliable propagation of spiking activity in the brain is vital for information processing. BCF members Arvind Kumar, Stefan Rotter and Ad Aertsen propose in a new review article that under certain conditions asynchronous and synchronous propagation of spiking activity can co-exist in a modular neuronal network, and they suggest experimental strategies to test this hypothesis.

New article in PLoS Computational Biology: Self-Organized Criticality in Developing Neuronal Networks
-
PLoS Computational Biology has published an article, co-authored by members of the BCCN Göttingen, the Bernstein Center Freiburg, and the Neuroinformatics Group of Amsterdam University. In their paper, the authors describe the maturation of cortical cell cultures and their mathematical analysis and network modeling to elucidate the different phases observed during development.

New article in the Journal of Neuroscience: Gating of signal propagation in spiking neural networks by balanced and correlated excitation and inhibition
-
In every waking minute, we have to make decisions – sometimes within a split second. Neuroscientists at the Bernstein Center Freiburg have now discovered a possible explanation how the brain chooses between alternative options. The key lies in extremely fast changes in the communication between single nerve cells.
