What a wonderful lineup for the "Interneurons Shape Cortical Codes" symposium at #FENS. Congratulations to Ivo Spiegel, Alison Barth, Marlene Bartos, Johannes Letzkus, and Leena Ibrahim on a highly successful session! #FENS #Neuroscience #CorticalCircuits
Marlene Bartos is Plenary Speaker at ENCODS 2026 (04/05 July 2026)! Ahead of the main FENS Forum in Barcelona, she will share her expertise in cellular neurobiology and interneuron function with doctoral students and early-career neuroscientists. @FENSorg #ENCODS2026 #Neuroscience
Heading to #FENS2026 in Barcelona? Don't miss the exciting symposia featuring our SFB-TRR 384 IN-CODE researchers! We share our new insights on interneurons, memory, and cortical population codes. Check out our schedule below. @FENSorg #Neuroscience #Interneurons #INCODE
Fantastic news for IN-CODE! Prof. Marlene Bartos (Uni Freiburg) secured a €2.5M ERC Advanced Grant for "ReMember-CA3". Her team will investigate how the hippocampal CA3 circuit encodes memories without overwriting old ones, and how it retrieves them over extended periods of time. #ERC #Neuroscience
Proud to highlight IN-CODE fellow Thibault Cholvin’s latest work in Nature Neuroscience! His study reveals how the dentate gyrus integrates LEC (olfactory) & MEC (context) signals into multimodal, highly specific memory representations. A milestone for understanding hippocampal computation!
Thibault Cholvin@thibaultcholvin.bsky.social · 4mo agoI’m happy to share our new paper (with @mbartos.bsky.social) now out in Nature Neuroscience: "The dentate gyrus efficiently converges LEC and MEC inputs into multimodal, highly specific and reliable environmental representations" Download it @ rdcu.be/famDE More below 🧵
Ever wondered how GABAergic interneurons shape cognition? The IN-CODE consortium's latest NeuroView article introduces a "population approach", shifting the focus from individual interneurons to cooperative networks. Dive into the future of interneuron research here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...
The deadline for our young PI symposium was extended! Don't miss out on this opportunity to build your community and share strategies to navigate these uncertain times.
