Episode #25 in #TheoreticalNeurosciencePodcast: On growing synthetic dendrites – with Hermann Cuntz Hermann Cuntz theoreticalneuroscience.no/thn25 Why are dendritic structures of neurons so different? The guest builds dendrites in a computer to understand and explore.

Good morning from Freiburg 🌸☀️ Cherry blossoms in full bloom—and our histology course starts today! What a beautiful day! #Freiburg #CherryBlossom #SpringVibes #Histology

#ThisWeekInNPP This review article from Hamed Ekhtiari & team discusses the need for individualized non-invasive brain stimulation protocols to improve treatment outcomes, proposing personalization across 4 dimensions: context, target, dose, & timing nature.com/articles/s4138…

🧠 Just out in Brain Stimulation: Our review explores how rTMS modulates microglia, influencing neuroinflammation, plasticity, and brain repair. Ready to explore the immune dimension of neuromodulation ?! #Freiburg #Neuroanatomy 👉 brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

Open PhD position in the Collaborative Research Center on "Neuropsychobiology of Aggression". The position is located at the Neuroimaging Center (NIC) in Mainz and involves working with Transcranial Ultrasonic Stimulation (TUS) in combination with EEG. bit.ly/43qrDIh

Happy about our new paper in Nature: The GluA3 AMPA receptor homomer provides a framework to study this disease-prone glutamate receptor. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our new paper in eLife - the journal: The interplay between homeostatic synaptic scaling and homeostatic structural plasticity maintains the robust firing rate of neural networks doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Thank you Prof. Peter Jedlička, for a fascinating talk on neuron modeling. You broke down complex ideas on hyperexcitable circuits and hippocampal neurons in a way that really clicked.

🧠 We treat depression with TMS, but don't understand how it works. Our team tracked brain changes during Stanford Neuromodulation Therapy (SNT) and found treatment reduced brain excitability by 40%, with predictive changes by day 3. Progress moving from guesswork to precision

🎯 NEW PAPER ALERT: NaviNIBS - Open-source neuronavigation that matches commercial functionality but with full customizability. Enables new advances in precise stimulation targeting and personalized treatment! 🧠⚡ doi.org/10.1088/1741-2… #Neuroscience #TMS #OpenSource

Hot off the press! Our new paper in @BrainStimJ shows how 10 Hz r(T)MS induces synaptic plasticity via coordinated pre- & postsynaptic activation and BDNF/TrkB signaling. STDP modeling predicts frequency dependence. Kudos to Christos Galanis & the team! brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️This month, we hold space in our hearts for the brave children facing cancer and the families who love and care for them.
