Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Modern brain research aims at an understanding of the mechanisms underlying information processing, combining research at the molecular, cellular, network and behavioural level. This cannot be achieved without computer models of neuronal activity. Professor Traub is a leading expert in modelling of neurons and neuronal networks. Amongst his outstanding achievements are studies concerning the generation of epilepsy and, more recently, the finding that electrical synapses play a major role in synchronizing neurons within neuronal networks. Professor Traub has always been closely cooperating with renowned experimentalists. In Germany, he plans to create and refine models of neuronal network oscillations in interconnected thalamorcortical columns. |
