Semester Opening with Vittorio Gallese: Join us for Vittorio Gallese's talk on 'Embodying neural representations: Neural reuse and embodied simulation' – April 26th, 4 PM, Alte Aula, Tübingen. Followed by a reception and discussions. uni-tuebingen.de/en/research/ce… #Neuroscience

Our PhD candidates Madeleine Kördel & Mirac Nur Musaoglu presented their current work on hormones, stress, and epigenetics at the Stress & Resilience Conference in Lausanne Global Stress and Resilience Network (GSRNet). The conference offered insightful talks, informative posters, and networking opportunities in stress research🌟

Does vagus nerve stimulation induce motivational effects in patients with depression?
Our study shows acute tVNS-induced increases in invigoration that are largely maintained. Patients also report increases in wanting. Led by Ferstl & Anne Kühnel

🚨Exciting new findings from our lab!

This work challenges the concept of 'Zero-Shot Generalization' in multimodal models.

Contrary to being 'zero-shot', these models actually require exponentially more data to achieve only linear improvements in perf.🔍🤔!

🎉Congratulations to Edueni Erharhaghen and Lukas Baier for receiving the Johannes Dichgans Scholarship from the HIH for one year, supervised by Thomas Wuttke (Dep. of Holger Lerche) & Justus Marquetand (Dep. of Markus Siegel Siegellab). We wish them all the best for their PhD! 🧠

New paper out: a widely used TMS method to probe causal neural involvement (cTBS) has no perceptual effects when applied over parietal cortex during bi-stable viewing.

Aging is the largest risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, but it's hard to find 🧠 models to study that

Enter, Deborah Kronenberg, Henner Koch + Thomas Wuttke. They’re developing a new brain tissue model to investigate aging & different neurodegenerative disease-related genes

Join us on Tue, March 26, at 3 pm for the kick-off event of our new talk and workshop series 'Healthy Minds in Academia'. It's such an important topic - a big thank you to the organizers @ninjasophi and Janne Lappalainen for putting this together. More info: uni-tuebingen.de/en/165313#c199…
