Berlin Brains: Die Musik in unserem Gehirn

In the organizer's words:

It is now common knowledge that our experiences and their storage - i.e. learning and memory - are linked to spatial and temporal patterns of neuronal activity. But how exactly does this work? Which areas of the brain are involved, what happens at the contact points of the nerve cells, the synapses? And what role do rhythms play in neuronal activity when we store new content in our brain's network and retrieve it later, i.e. when we remember?

Dietmar Schmitz and Alexandra Tzilivaki from Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin are working on questions like these as part of a project in the Collaborative Research Center 1315. Together, they will provide an overview of the role rhythms play in memory and the music played by the nerve cells in our brain.
