Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The Research Training Group 1373 ‘Brain signaling: from neurons to circuits’ helped establish at the Medical School of the Technical University of Munich a platform for the multidisciplinary scientific training in neurosciences of doctoral students from various fields, including medicine, natural sciences and engineering. The participating institutions included the Georgetown University, USA, during the first funding period, the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Munich. The research activities ranged from the analysis of basic mechanisms in neuroscience to the analysis of the mechanisms underlying various brain diseases. More specifically, the basic research in neuroscience focused on the analysis of the neuronal ion channels, the auditory system as well as cortical, cerebellar and motor circuits. The pathophysiological studies included analyses of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, irritable bowel syndrome and various pain syndromes. The doctoral students were exposed to a thorough multidisciplinary training in cutting-edge technologies, including molecular biology and genetics, cell biology, high-resolution electrophysiology and optical imaging, optogenetics, optoacoustics, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography. Many of the results obtained by the doctoral students and their mentors were published in prestigious scientific journals, including Nature, Nature Neuroscience, Neurons and Science.
