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

  A research consortium funded by the EU with ~12 Million € has been launched. The project entitled “Targets and biomarkers for antiepileptogenesis” (EPITARGET) is focused on identifying novel biomarkers for epileptogenesis and exploring new ways of how to treat epilepsy. The project

An ERC Advanced Grant was awarded to Prof. Istvan Mody (The other side of optogenetics: multicolored genetically encoded hybrid voltage sensors (GEVOS) for ultrafast membrane potential measurements in cortical microcircuits), who will come to Bonn to establish techniques for genetically
