Translation of "Neuronal circuits" in German

Our brains house extremely complex neuronal circuits, whose detailed structures are still largely unknown.

How are molecular and cellular mechanisms in nerve cells translated, via neuronal circuits, into higher-level brain functions?

In addition, scientists are making great efforts to discover additional neuronal circuits in the cervical spinal cord.

Through the medium of joint projects, they will be studying the functional building blocks of the brain – the neuronal circuits.

How are neuronal circuits constructed and organized during the early post-natal stage of human development?

The independent junior research group Development and Function of Hypothalamic Neuronal Circuits aims to understand the molecular mechanism of neuronal circuit formation by studying the development of the hypothalamus.

Silvia Arber investigates the mechanisms involved in the function and assembly of neuronal circuits controlling motor behavior.

The department Genes - Circuits - Behavior, led by Professor Herwig Baier investigates how the information flow in such neuronal circuits steers the behavior of the organism.

To paraphrase Heraclitis for whom “younever bathe twice in the same river”, Ramón y Cajal essentially suggestedthat we never think twice with the same brain, as each new experiencelived changes the neuronal circuits of which it is composed.

The set of elementary chunks of culture (variously known as memes, cultural variants or cultural traits) codified as neuronal circuits in the long term memory of the individual make up that individual’s culture.

In order to simulate larger neuronal circuits on a computer, Jülich scientists, together with other researchers, are developing the Neural Simulation Technology (NEST) software.

In collaboration with the lab of Peter Hegemann, we develop novel light-gated anion channels and apply them in neurons and neuronal circuits.

With the help of genetic studies on mice, scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry have discovered two opposing neuronal regulatory circuits for the generation and elimination of fear.

Researchers from both institutions are investigating the functional building blocks of the brain – its neuronal circuits – in joint projects.

The scientists in Munich plan to study neuronal circuits of various model organisms and thereby enhance the understanding of information processing in sensory systems with respect to development and plasticity.

In order to study neuronal circuits, a sharp metal electrode is usually inserted into the brain to introduce a current.

Combining approaches from biomechanics and naval engineering with the modeling of neuronal circuits, we have shown that the snake can use its ears to perform the same trick for sound arriving through sand.

Both, the transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and the transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) employ two electrodes, which are placed on the scalp of the patient and are supplied with a direct current or alternating current for a limited length of time of up to 15 minutes in order to stimulate the neuronal circuits in the brain.

The general objective of our research is to understand basic principles of neuronal information processing and neuronal circuits.

However, whether individual synapses contribute to lasting alterations of neuronal circuits evoked by learning and memory formation is still not clear.

These larger bodies require greater replication of neuronal circuits in order to add precision to sensory processes, detail to sensory perception, and increase storage capacity: all things which don’t necessarily produce qualitative shifts in behavior or cognition.

Horst-Werner Korf investigates neuroendocrine and neuronal circuits of the circadian system that generates an endogenous rhythm, entrains this rhythm to the photoperiod (length of day and night), and transmits it to the body periphery.

Optobow should enable scientists to make significant progress in the identification of the cellular components of neuronal circuits and in understanding their functions, thus complementing connectomics and electrophysiology.

There is nothing surprising in this according to the theories of neuronal networks and selection of neuronal groups: such complex experiences must be learned and expressed in neuronal circuits!

At the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, scientists use a range of model organisms and sophisticated imaging tools to study the formation and function of neuronal circuits.
