7th international caesar conference: “Missing links in neuroscience: Bridging scales in theory and experiment”

5 Feb 2018 at 11:22

The upcoming international caesar conference will bring together outstanding scientists from both experimental and theoretical neuroscience. It will take place between June 5th and 6th, 2018. Registrations are open online at www.caesarconference.com.

Bonn, February 5th, 2018. In science, matters of scale are often crucial. This is especially true when it comes to neuroscience. Neural information processing takes place on numerous temporal and spatial scales, ranging from minute subcellular processes up to the level of the whole organism of behaving animals. Yet, how does one bridge between these scales? How do you integrate data from this enormous spectrum into coherent theories and experiments?

The international caesar conference brings together a range of outstanding scientists from both experimental and theoretical neuroscience. The aim is to foster discussions on how to bridge between relevant scales of brain structure and function as well as between experimental data, numerical simulations and conceptual models.


About the caesar foundation and the caesar international conference

The caesar foundation is associated with the Max Planck Society and operates a center for neuroethology research in Bonn. All scientific directors are scientific members of the Max Planck Society. More on the research can be found at www.caesar.de.

New Mathematical Framework to Understand Dynamics of Natural Systems

Researchers at the new Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology of Behavior - caesar have been able to show for the first time that individual migrating cells are able both to develop a robust memory for the direction of migration and to react to short-term input changes in their environment at the same time.

New Mathematical Framework to Understand Dynamics of Natural Systems

A team of researchers has developed a new mathematical framework that describe, for the first time, how long transient behaviors might occur in complex systems. They introduce ghost channels and ghost cycles as novel objects that explain how natural systems can be stable over prolonged period of time, yet still be able to rapidly switch to another state. This might help us understand tipping cascades, such as those affecting biodiversity or the consequences of ice melt in the Arctic, but also neuronal dynamics that governs how we encode taste, for example.

Bonn Science Night 2024 - we were there!

We participated in the local Bonn Science Night on May 17, 2024. We introduced our research mission and, together with the Max Planck Institute for Radioastronomy, showcased basic research at the Max Planck Society. We had a fantastic time and are grateful to our many visitors for their interest and very positive feedback!
