Neuroscience Working Group on ›Neuronal Dynamics and Information Processing‹

In order to strengthen the neuroscientific exchange at the Academy of Sciences and Literature | Mainz and thus form a focal point, a working group has been founded to deal with the topic of ›Neuronal Dynamics and Information Processing‹. The working group will deal with the interacting interactions of synapses, neurons and network oscillations. Questions of interest include: How and where is information received, processed and stored in the brain? Which nerve cell subtypes are essential and what influence do synaptic modulations have on information processing? Which neuronal circuits perform which tasks and how does their size influence the process? The transdisciplinary exchange between the cellular, systemic and theoretical neurosciences should be strengthened through such questions, with the aim of enriching the respective state of knowledge through that of the other subdisciplines. In order to discuss these questions in concrete terms on a larger scale, the international symposium 'Brain Dynamics and Information Processing' is planned to take place at the Mainz Academy on 24-25 February 2021. The symposium will be supported by the Sybille Kalkhof-Rose Foundation and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience.
