Neurons in the hippocampus control our spatial learning, however, they are very unstable. Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology (LIN) in Magdeburg are trying to decipher these dynamics in a joint project. The LIN will provide time lapse images from the brains of mice and FAU is going to develop an AI-supported tool for analyzing the images. The project is being funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), with FAU receiving 320,000 euros.
