MindTalk: Dissecting mechanisms mediating neurotransmitter release from sensory cells in the gut epithelium (Prof. Dr. Cordelia Imig)
Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are sensory secretory cells in the gut epithelium that release peptide hormones and neurotransmitters in response to changes in the gut milieu. These cells are positioned at the interface between the body and the environment and therefore form an important relay station for sensory information transmitted along the microbiome-gut-brain-axis. Interestingly, mouse EECs [...]

MindTalk: Neural and behavioral mechanisms of attention in live social interactions (Prof. Dr. Louisa Kulke)
Attention is affected by the social context we are in: Adults enjoy looking at other people when they watch television at home, but they will inhibit themselves from staring at strangers in a crowded elevator. The current talk compares attention in live interactions, video chats and videos. It shows, firstly, that eye movements differ significantly between [...]
MindTalk: Coding of social odors in the hippocampus and beyond (Prof. Dr. Sami Hassan)
While the hippocampus is a crucial brain region for social memory, the memory of conspecific interactions, the precise mechanisms underlying the integration of social sensory cues with contextual information for the formation of episodic social memories are still unclear. This seminar examines the mechanisms of social sensory information processing by the hippocampus and presents a [...]
MMMIGS Intro2PhD: Choosing & using appropriate methods
In the winter semester 2023 / 24, the Minds, Media, Machines Integrated Graduate School (MMMIGS) offers a seminar for doctoral students who have recently started their doctorate. In the third session, the selection and implementation of suitable methods to answer the research question will be discussed. The starting point will again be the literature review. As an example, the planning, implementation [...]
