A study at the University of Bonn revealed an unexpected difference in the information processing of humans and apes. Both can recognize very quickly, whereas a counterpart looks. The evaluation of the viewing direction is carried out in monkeys in so-called Amygdala,

SFB Scientists discover altered grid-cell like representations in the entorhinal cortex of humans with genetic risk for AD. To see the press release click here. To see the paper click here, please.

Researchers in Bonn have identified neural circuits in the brains of mice that are pivotal for movement and navigation in space.These nerve cells that are presumed to exist in a similar form in humans, give the start signal for locomotion

In the paper Function and developmental origin of a mesocortical inhibitory circuit, Dr. Sandra Blaess and members of the Laboratory of Experimental Epileptology and Cognition Research discover a mesocortical inhibitory circuit. This mesocortical circuit provides glutamatergic excitation of interneurons and inhibits pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal

In a paper in the Journal Neuron, SFB 1089 PI Stefan Remy (DZNE Bonn) and his laboratory have demonstrated that structural changes in dendrites are a key contributor to altered functional properties of neurons in a mouse model of Alzheimers disease. Visit
