With this award, the German Physical Society recognizes the scientist for her outstanding commitment to communicating scientific findings on the corona pandemic.

Researchers based in Munich and Tübingen have developed an open-source camera system that images natural habitats as they appear to rodents.

Researchers unravel a mechanism behind distinct organizational features in the visual cortex of mice and ferrets

Freiburg researchers uncover the link between bursts of beta brain waves and reduced stimulus recognition

Eve Marder, pioneering neuroscientist and internationally renowned for her work on the lobster and crab nervous system will receive this year's Valentin Braitenberg Award for Computational Neuroscience. The award ceremony will take place during the online Bernstein Conference on September 23.

Our ability to confront global crises depends on how we interact and share information.

The Einstein Foundation will be supporting neurobiologist Susanne Schreiber as an Einstein Professor at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. With the help of additional funding from the Einstein Foundation, the university was able to counter an offer from another university, thus ensuring that the expert in theoretical neurophysiology will remain in Berlin.

Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen have studied how nerve cells in the eye react to different color combinations. They found special cells in the eyes of mice that respond particularly well to contrasts between green and ultraviolet light. This could enable the animals to see the horizon clearly and use it for orientation. The scientific paper was published in "Nature Communications".
