AG Schwarz publishes a paper on light-sheet fluorescence expansion microscopy
In collaboration with the AG Kubitscheck from the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry the AG Schwarz (IEECR) worked on a new method that allows a faster high-resolution imaging of large cell ensembles by using light-sheet fluorescence expansion microscopy. The resulting paper will appear in the January issue of Neurophotonics and is also available online: […]
AG Weber is searching for German-speaking male participants in a nutrition study
For a large fMRI study at the Life & Brain Center of the University of Bonn Medical Center the AG Weber is searching for male participants who are willing to solve simple decision tasks before and after a seven-week intake of a dietary supplement.

Novel Optogenetic Tool for potassium-based silencing published in Nature Communications
IEECR scientists have participated in the development of a new optogenetic silencing tool for neuroscience, together with colleagues from the Humboldt-University Berlin, the Charité Berlin, Research Center Caesar, Freiburg and Martinsried. The two-component tool is based on the expression of both a photoactivated enzyme producing cAMP, and a cAMP sensitive bacterial potassium channel. A brief […]

IEECR Bonn – Inst. Experimental Epileptology and Cognition Research
Deciphering Neuronal Mechanisms in Health and Disease Brains are capable of forming polysensory percepts of our environment, and using this information to make decisions and execute complex behaviors. These processes are strongly influenced by past experience and innate behavioral programs, and are modulated by arousal or motivational state. The IEECR Bonn scientists have a passion […]
