In order to make fMRI fit for clinical application in psychiatric disorders, the groups of Klaas Stephan, Klaas Prüssmann and Dominik Bach are developing methods to increase image resolution. They will soon start the clinical […]
A whole new group of test persons is available for investigating neuroplasticity. Chances are you are one of them. Arko Ghosh and colleagues have demonstrated that smartphone users show interesting changes of cortical sensory representations […]
How and where are our memories stored in our brains? These questions were addressed by Prof. Katharine Henke’s group by looking at differences in memory processing in amnesic and healthy individuals. Their results show that, […]
A ticking clock that we no longer hear, the touch of clothes we no longer feel: We perceive the world as our brain continuously filters the incoming sensory information from our environment. How this adaptation […]
In order to study functional connectivity with fMRI in the mouse brain, the animals have to be anesthetized. But how do anesthetics influence functional connectivity and which anesthetics should be used for fMRI? The recent […]
Different behavior patterns of men and women are often explained with physiological differences in the brain. Neuropsychologist Lutz Jäncke and his team could show that these persistent prejudices are false by demonstrating that the anatomical […]
The group of Prof. Richard Hahnloser has published data about how songbirds learn to sing their songs. They have for the first time provided evidence at the neuronal level for a previously postulated model for […]
The appointment of Professor Mehmet Fatih Yanik as Full Professor of Neurotechnology at the ETH further strengthens the Zurich Neuroscience Community. Yanik, currently Associate Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, USA, will […]
Prof. Isabelle Mansuy and colleagues demonstrate that small non-coding RNAs in sperm are involved in the transgenerational inheritance of traumatic stress in early life in mice. Gene-environment interactions are determining factors for the etiology of […]
Memories are stored in our brain as connections between neurons, so called memory traces. But how are these traces created? ZNZ researcher Urs Gerber and his group challenge existing concepts. Memory traces are formed by […]
