Development of neuronal networks accounting for cognitive processing

Brain processing during mnemonic and executive tasks relies on interactions within complex neuronal networks.

Dysfunction of neuronal networks and their early oscillations under pathological conditions

Over the last decades, the impaired cognitive performance in neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders has emerged […]

Uni-and multisensory processing and ontogeny

Our day-to-day life requires permanent interactions with the environment that are enabled by multiple senses.

Sensory control of the maturation of cognitive processing

While sensory perception and cognitive processing represent constant research topics in Neuroscience

Development of neuro-immune cross talk and its role for pathologies later in life

The communication between the central nervous and immune system has come to the fore over the last decades, because of its unique function in homeostasis in health and diseases. While classical resident macrophages of the CNS play an increasing role in regulating this equilibrium and the communication between different brain areas, the vertical transmission of [...]
