Mind Talk: Optical approaches to study glutamate receptor signaling: Mechanisms and synaptic function (Prof. Dr. Andreas Reiner)
Glutamate receptors (GluRs) play a key role in the central nervous system, where they pass excitatory signals across synapses and modulate synaptic strength and plasticity. Our research mainly focuses on the subfamily of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), which form glutamate-gated ion channels. In my talk, I will summarize our recent work on the diversity of [...]
Mind Talk: A new optrode device for optogenetic stimulation of deep cortical layers based on the Utah array geometry (Dr. Christopher Friedrich Reiche)
Optogenetic methods enable neuroscientist to study neural circuit function with high precision by making specifically targeted populations of neural tissue cells sensitive to light. To harness the full capabilities of this technique, it is essential for researchers to be able to deliver light with sufficient intensity not only to the surface but also into deep [...]
π³ Summer school on data-driven dynamic systems
The Research Training Group (2224) Parameter Identification is organizing a summer school on the topic of data-driven dynamic systems. It will take place from July 24 to 26, 2024 at the University of Bremen. The aim of the summer school is to explore topics such as Koopman and transfer operator theory, data-driven approximations and kernel analog prediction. The summer school is aimed at advanced master students, PhD students and young researchers, [...]
