The brain has an immense capacity to adapt and to learn from experiences. What happens in the brain during learning? In this seminar, Professor Marianne Fyhn from the Department of Biosciences, will share their latest work investigating how specific neuron activity in the resting period after training is essential to consolidate memories. The combination of gene engineering, advanced live imaging of large neuron populations during behavioral tasks in mice gives unique insights into how neural networks of the brain operates.Speaker
Professor Marianne Fyhn earned her PhD in Neuroscience from NTNU in 2005, where she was seminal to the discovery of grid cells. Her work contributed to the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2014, awarded to May-Britt and Edvard Moser. After a postdoctoral period at University of California San Fransisco, studying visual cortical plasticity with MP Stryker, she established her research group at UiO. Here, she focuses on understanding neural mechanisms of memory processing in rodents from the molecular to neural network level.
