Understanding Neural Computations Through The Eye of a Fly

Speaker: Marion Silies   Time: February 19, 2026,16:30   Place: Aysel Sabuncu Brain Research Center Seminar Room (SC-106)     Abstract: Our research aims to understand how the nervous system performs behaviorally relevant computations. In the human brain, billions of neurons are connected via even more connections. To reduce this complexitiy we study the brain of […]

Dr. Algın and his research collaborators have published a study titled ‘’Primary and nonprimary auditory cortex connectivity with brain regions involved in cognitive and emotional processing: in mouse and human’’ in the internationally respected journal Hearing Research.

This article, based on recent research by Prof. Dr. Oktay Algın and his colleagues, identifies the connections between the auditory cortex and brain regions involved in cognitive and emotional processing. The study employs retrograde fluoro-gold (FG) tracers in mice and 3-tesla high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in human adults. While the neural mechanisms underlying acoustic […]
