Emerging evidence suggests a role for perineuronal nets (PNNs) in learning and regulation of plasticity but the underlying mechanisms remain unresolved. Here, we used chronic in vivo extracellular recordings to investigate how removal of PNNs affects plasticity and neural activity over time.
Congratulation to our postdoc Mattis with a substantial paper showing that activity in primary auditory cortex is required at critical memory phases and plasticity enables stimulus discrimination.
The merger between Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway (NCMM) and the Biotechnology Centre of Oslo (BiO) formally came into effect on 2 January 2017.

What solution should be chosen for office furniture in the planned life science building at UiO? Now employees may test different solutions and give their feedback.
UiO:Life Science welcomes you to the Oslo Life Science Conference – Building the Life Science City – 15th–17th February 2017.
We have hosted life science lunches on innovation, epigenetics, gene editing and cancer and stem cells in 2016. Watch the recordings of the seminars.
UiO:Life Science is one of three large interdisciplinary strategic areas at UiO. Our strategy states that we shall strengthen quality and interaction in research; recruit, educate and develop talents; and promote innovation in the life sciences related to environment and health. A life sciences building, which is planned for completion in 2023, is a significant aspect of our work.
- The aim of the Research School is to increase network activity between Ph.D.-candidates, thereby lowering the threshold to visit each other and cooperate, says Chairman Thorkild Tylleskär. –We believe that through this we will be able to facilitate for better research.
The board meeting for the Norwegian Forum for Global Health Research was hosted by the Centre for Arctic and Global Health (SAG), located at the University of Tromsø.
The International Summer School course ISSMF4205 – International Community Health will be held from June 24th to August 4th, 2017.
The world has witnessed great strides towards eradication of polio worldwide, but the job is not yet complete. New report from the Centre for Global Health at the University of Oslo and the Global Health Centre at the Graduate Institute, Geneva.
BERN, LONDON, GENEVA – October 24, 2016, should be a unique day in the history of polio. If all goes according to plan, it will be the last annual World Polio Day before the disease is eradicated. But now is not the time for celebration or complacency; while we know how to eliminate polio, we have not yet finished the job.
Professor Johanne Sundby has been honored with the Faculty of Medicine’s prize for excellence in the Bachelor and Master education for her very important contribution in offering high quality education to the students at the Master of International Community Health.
New publication from Centre for Global Health participants.
Does everyone deserve the world’s highest quality health tests and treatments? Is it ever ethical to provide people with less effective or more toxic care? Dr. Emanuel defends the controversial position that it can be ethical to provide less effective or more toxic treatments.
