Berlin Brains: The Music Inside Our Brains
It is now common knowledge that our experiences and their storage, i.e., learning and memory, are associated with spatial and temporal patterns of neural activity. But how exactly does this work? Which areas of the brain are involved, and what exactly happens at the contact points between nerve cells, the synapses? And what role do rhythms play in neural activity when we store new information in our brain's network and later retrieve it when we remember?
Dietmar Schmitz and Alexandra Tzilivaki from Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin exploring these questions as part of a project within the Collaborative Research Center 1315. Together, they provide an overview of the role that rhythms play in memory - and the kind of “music” our brain´s nerve cells play.
Please note: The event will be conducted in German.
