Dr. Mustafa Korkutata Harvard University Date/Time: Tuesday, 8 April 2025, 16:30 Place: SC106 Aysel Sabuncu Brain Research Center Seminar Room The parabrachial nucleus (PB), located in the dorsolateral pons, relays sensory information (visceral malaise, taste, temperature, pain, itch) to forebrain structures including the thalamus, hypothalamus, and extended amygdala. Within the external lateral subnucleus of […]

Dr. Ronny Rosner Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Germany Date/Time: Thursday, 30 May 2024, 16:30 Place: SC106 (UMRAM) Most insect brains surpass any man-made control system in their ability to autonomously orient within 3D space. Moreover, although insects are evolutionarily distant from vertebrates, studying their more accessible brains can hold profound implications for understanding fundamental neural mechanisms. As […]

These perturbations can be sourced from astrophysical particles that have magnetic signatures, or from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals of liquid or solid samples. Optically pumped magnetometers […]

Thus, reconstruction and acquisition techniques for rapid imaging, noise reduction and improved data acquisition have received great interest. Each of […]

However, current implantable devices cannot provide stable recordings over long […]
