Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Dr. Alejandro Fabián Schinder is an internationally acclaimed authority in the field of adult neurogenesis. He has made several ground-breaking discoveries concerning the problem of how adult-born neurons integrate into the hippocampal circuit and thereby contribute to neural plasticity. He set a milestone by demonstrating that adult-born neurons differ from earlier generated neurons in the the way they decode incoming neural activity, thus assigning them a unique contribution to hippocampal information processing. During his stay in Germany, Dr. Schinder will continue his research concerning the question of how the temporal evolution of their connectivity adds to the unique properties of adult-born neurons.
