New paper in PNAS: Joint work with the Letzkus lab on the function of layer 1 interneurons!
January 25, 2025
Another paper from our wonderful collaboration with the Letzkus lab: Laura, Jenny and Loreen combine computational model and experiment to investigate how volume release of GABA by NDNF interneurons could shape cortical processing.
We’re delighted to welcome Sofia Pereira da Silva and Saif Ahmed to the lab! They will help us learn more about cortical interneuron circuits and their functions, together with our collaborators in the consortium IN-CODE.
We’re proud to share that collaborative work together with several groups from Johns Hopkins University and Marlene Bartos’ group in Freiburg has been published in Nature!
You can read all about how “Calcium-permeable AMPA receptors govern PV neuron feature selectivity” here.
We’re very happy to share that Sofia Pereira da Silva and Saif Ahmed have officially started their PhD journey in the lab!
Both of them are funded through the Collaborative Research Centre IN-CODE.
Next week, the Bernstein Conference takes place in Frankfurt! Sofia is presenting a poster (Poster Session IV), and Kris is giving a talk at the PhD Symposium on the theme “Transitions.”
We’re looking forward to FENS in Vienna next week! Loreen will speak in the workshop “Surprise! Cortical prediction errors in learning and behaviour”, and Kristine, Denis and Felix will present posters!
We’re excited to welcome two new members to our lab this month! Kristine Heiney is joining as an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellow, and Simone Ciceri is a new PhD student affiliated with the Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin.
