Presentation
The brain has an immense capacity to adapt and to learn from experiences. What happens in the brain during learning? In this seminar, Professor Marianne Fyhn from the Department of Biosciences, will share their latest work investigating how specific neuron activity in the resting period after training is essential to consolidate memories. The combination of gene engineering, advanced live imaging of large neuron populations during behavioral tasks in mice gives unique insights into how neural networks of the brain operates.

About the seminar series
Once a month, dScience will invite you to join us for lunch and professional talks at the Science Library. In addition to these, we will serve lunch in our lounge in Kristine Bonnevies house every Thursday. Due to limited space (40 people), this will be first come, first served. See how to find us here.
Our lounge can also be booked by PhDs and Postdocs on a regular basis, whether it is for a meeting or just to hang out – we have fresh coffee all day long!
