Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Barth is well known internationally for her groundbreaking contribution to our understanding of neuronal plasticity. Her work combines cutting edge genetic technologies with electrophysiological methods to understand the molecular and cellular basis of memory. Professor Barth applies these methods in mouse somatosensory cortex and her work provides very elegant and extremely useful tools to visualize brain circuits that are activated by sensory experience. During her stay in Germany, she intends to apply novel microscopy techniques to target neural circuits involved in memory formation. Professor Barth is hosted by Professor Michael Brecht at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) at the Humboldt University Berlin. |
