Prof. Dr. Frank Bradke, neurobiologist at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and professor at the University of Bonn, has been elected to the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW). The induction ceremony took place on June 14, 2025,

Prof. Dr. Frank Bradke—Senior Group Leader at the DZNE and Professor at the University of Bonn—has been welcomed as a new member of the North Rhine–Westphalia Academy of Sciences and Arts. He received his certificate from the Academy’s President, Prof.

Bonn researchers explore the neural processes that help link different aspects of episodic memory. Bonn, September 10 – Our brains possess an incredible ability to encode and store memories, capturing the essence of our experiences by linking the ‘who/what,’ ‘where,’ and

The growth and migration of neurons in the brain are the focus of a recent study. As nerve cells form, they wire the brain to allow communication with other nerve cells. The axon, one of the wires that form when

A study led by the IEECR has identified a mechanism relying on Ste20-like kinase that allows single cortical neurons to cell-autonomously adjust feedforward inhibition they receive to the cell-specific levels of excitatory input. The authors propose that this mechanism is critical

Memory deficits are a debilitating symptom of epilepsy, but little is known about mechanisms underlying cognitive deficits. Here, we describe a Na+ channel-dependent mechanism underlying altered hippocampal dendritic integration, degraded place coding, and deficits in spatial memory.

Neurons Able to “Talk” Cannot Regenerate Adult neurons of the central nervous system do not regenerate if they are damaged, for example following a spinal cord injury. A study by DZNE researchers published in the scientific journal “Neuron” provides evidence
