Spectral Fingerprints of Neuronal Interactions (SPECFIN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

"How does cognition result from complex neuronal interactions within and between brain regions? Substantial progress has been made understanding the functional properties of individual neurons, but we lack understanding of how they work together. Neuronal oscillations are ubiquitous in the brain. The frequencies of these oscillations reflect the biophysical properties of underlying circuit interac ...

The influence of environmental factors on antimicrobial activity of human intestinal defensins (Defensinactivity)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

Human epithelia are permanently challenged by microorganisms. In the gut, the fraction of strict anaerobic bacteria increases from proximal to distal, reaching 99% of bacterial species in the colon. Moreover, microbial metabolism causes a reduction of the environment to a low redox potential of only –200 mV to –300 mV. Defensins, characterised by three intramolecular disulfide-bridges, are key eff ...

Optogenetic examination of the role of feedback on visual processing and perception (NeuroOptoGen)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

We need to understand the brain mechanisms of perception and cognition in order to develop treatments for disorders in which these abilities fail, such as schizophrenia, attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder or autism. Over the past half-century neurophysiologists have enormously advanced our knowledge of how the feed-forward connections give rise to the response properties in the visual cortex ...

Cortical circuits of visual perception (Percept)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Active perception relies on the concerted activity of populations of neurons in the cerebral cortex. These neuronal populations communicate via dense local and long-range connections, forming complex cortical circuits. While we are beginning to understand the elementary building blocks of such circuits during sensory processing, the circuit-level mechanisms by which top-down signals modulate senso ...

Initial Training Network: Lateralized Attention Networks (ITN-LAN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"The proposed Initial Training Network for Lateralized Attention Networks (ITN-LAN) brings together 6 research teams with established international reputations and, more importantly, is founded on well established collaborations. The long-term scientific objectives of the proposed ITN-LAN are: (1) To validate and standardize a behavioural battery for assessing the attentional networks of the two ...
