MindTalk: Brain on the brink: Self-organization between chaos and order and the bag of tricks of physics (Prof. Dr. Stefan Bornholdt)
The nerve cells in our head are like little loaded colts: ready to "fire" at any time. Our brain consists of billions of them, connected in a dense signal network. This is stuff for nightmares, because what if the signal fire grows at lightning speed, who stops it? The everyday experience with our brains seems [...]

It helps us to [...]
MindTalks: Aims and limits of behavioral pharmacology (Prof. Dr. Michael Koch)
Abstract Behavioral Pharmacology takes advantage of the fact that most of the neurons in the central nervous system use chemical messengers (neurotransmitter molecules) to convey "information" in neuronal networks. One of the aims of this discipline is - by experimentally manipulating "key players" in neurotransmission, e.g. enzymes, transporters and receptors and quantifying behavioral changes - [...]
MindTalks: Intervening in the brain of the blind: Challenges and future prospects (Prof. Dr. Eduardo Jover)
Abstract Motivated by the success of cochlear implants for deaf patients, our group is developing a cortical visual neuroprosthesis designed to interface with the occipital cortex in order to restore a limited but useful sense of vision to profoundly blind patients. We will review the most important challenges regarding this neuroprosthetic approach and emphasize the need [...]
