Berlin Brains

How memories are consolidated - A layered view of systems

How are experiences represented in neuronal activity? And how does it work that these developing brainstates – so-called memory consolidation – are maintained over time so that we can remember them? In short: how does memory work? This is what Matthew Larkum and Postdoctoral Researcher Timothy Zolnik are investigating as part of a subproject of Collaborative Research Center 1315. Together these researchers provide an overview of the current state of knowledge on learning and memory and report on their multi-layered view of the systems involved.

Moderated by Jochen Müller.

Speaker:

Prof. Matthew Larkum, Head of Neuronal Plasticity at the Institute of Biology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Spokesperson for the Collaborative Research Center 1315 Mechanisms and Disturbances in Memory Consolidation: from Synapses to Systems

Dr. Timothy Zolnik, senior Postdoctoral Researcher in the Larkum Lab (Neuronal Plasticity), at the Institute of Biology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
