"Hva har krefter med hjernen vår å gjøre?"

Simen Tennøe tells how we can model the brain on a computer.

The Olav Thon Foundation has awared 1.5 Million NOK over 3 years for "Grand Challenges", an interdisciplinary project engaging students in active research.

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.

Ida E.J. Aasebø, a PhD student at CINPLA, has been awarded 104 000 NOK of additional funding by Blindeforbundet (Norwegian Society for the Blind).

3-year PhD Research fellow position now available at the Center for Integrative Neuroplasticity (CINPLA) at Department of Biosciences.

Application deadline: 31 January, 2017

Jonas Sundquist at Krono has written a fantastic and insightful profile of one of CINPLA's own - Tovy Dinh.
