The prize is awarded annually alternating for Doctoral or Master theses. 2022-11-01T06:33:25Z News Item https://bcf.uni-freiburg.de/news/2022/220413-carl-van-vreeswijk April 2022: The Bernstein Center Freiburg mourns the unexpected death of Carl van Vreeswijk, member of its Scientific Advisory Board. Carl passed away in Paris on April 13, 2022. 2023-02-13T09:07:03Z News Item https://bcf.uni-freiburg.de/news/2022/bernstein-cortec-award-2022 The Bernstein-CorTec Award 2022 will be conferred for a PhD thesis. 2022-03-22T07:13:31Z News Item https://bcf.uni-freiburg.de/news/2022/suspect-arrested-investigation-moves-to-next-round It is probably one of the most extensive investigative files in the history of science. The case has been unsolved for centuries. The reporting, at first heavily influenced by speculation and philosophical deliberations, has had tangible and convincing successes to report in recent decades. The investigators' methods are improving, and the circle of suspects is shrinking. The noose is tightening. A new episode in this whodunit has just been released. 2022-04-20T08:53:05Z News Item https://bcf.uni-freiburg.de/news/2022/22-02-28-gallinaro February 2022: The postulate “fire together, wire together” suggests a general mechanism of synaptic plasticity, which is thought to underly network wiring and cell assembly formation. In a new study published in PLOS Computational Biology, three researchers at the Bernstein Center Freiburg shed new light on this process, which is fundamental for robust brain function. 2022-04-26T16:52:57Z News Item https://bcf.uni-freiburg.de/news/2022/directionality-revealed-in-hippocampal-theta-sequences Neuroscientists from BCF discover that hippocampal theta sequences change across different running directions in 2D space, providing insights into how spatial memory is represented by a temporal code. 2022-02-03T16:45:21Z News Item https://bcf.uni-freiburg.de/news/2022/cochlear-implant-as-a-sensor The cochlear implant (CI) is the most successful neural prosthesis worldwide. Thanks to direct stimulation of the auditory nerve, it enables more than half a million people worldwide to hear, even though those affected were born deaf or deafened. 2022-01-29T08:16:31Z News Item
