Dear Colleagues, I am excited to advertise the talks of Jolien Pas and Gerwin Dijk from Department of Bioelectronics, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint-Etienne, France. They will talk about the (probably near) future of electrophysiology, which still sounds a bit like science fiction – organic based electrodes and biodegradable guiding elements. The talks…

Dear Colleagues, On 7 July (Friday), we will host three excellent colleagues working on the zebrafish model system. 10:00-11:00 – Filippo Del Bene: Deciphering anatomy and function of an inter-hemispheric neural circuit in the zebrafish optic tectum 15:00-15:45 – Nathalie Jurisch-Yaksi: The role of motile cilia-generated flow in olfaction 15:45-16:30 – Emre Yaksi: Studying the…

Systems Neuroscience and Decision Making = SYNDI: We had our first joint conference + lab retreat with the Kvitsiani lab! Invited speakers included Peter Bartho and Zoltan Somogyvari from Budapest, Arash Fassihi from Trieste and Laura Jimenez from Munich.

Panna Hegedüs presented her first poster from the hangyalab at the FENS Spring Brain Conference in Copenhagen!

Adam is at the forefront of developing tools combining in vivo recording and drug delivery with high potential for future clinical use in collaboration with prof. George Malliaras. We are collaborating with Adam’s lab on testing these tools and judging their usefulness in neurodegenerative dementias like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. See below the abstract of Adam’s…

Let me invite you to the talk of Antal Berényi at KOKI lecture room at 11 am on 9 March. Title and abstract: Coupling single neuronal activity to complex brain functions: large-scale, high-resolution approaches to dissect and to modify neuronal network activities. Antal Berényi MTA-SZTE ‘‘Momentum’’ Oscillatory Neuronal Networks Research Group, Department of Physiology, University…

I would like to invite you to the talk of Zoltan Somogyvari at KOKI lecture room at 10 am on 2 March. Zoltan has a background in physics and he has contributed to the ways we can look at our electrophysiology data with unusual insight on multiple occasions. The title and abstract of his talk:…

Duda visited us and we conducted a successful one-day acute experiment – with a chronic silicon probe inserted in the auditory cortex. It was a great group effort! Duda also gave a seminar: Title: “Foraging decisions in flies and mice” Abstract: Foraging for food and energy resources is fundamental for animal survival. Therefore it is…

To kickstart 2017, let me invite you to a seminar lecture by Gergo Orban (Wigner Research Center for Physics, Hung. Acad. Sci.) to be held in the KOKI lecture room on 5 Jan at 11 am. Orban’s group aims to understand the computational principles underlying sensory processing. The speaker is a Lendulet Research Fellow and…
