马克斯普朗克脑研究所(Max Planck Institute for Brain Research),地址:德国,德国;Research at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research focuses on the operation of brain circuits. It is currently carried out in three scientific departments (Helmstaedter, Schuman and Laurent) and two Max Planck Research Groups (Letzkus and Tchumatchenko) located in our new Institute building (Riedberg), as well as in the Emeritus Laboratory of Wolf Singer and in three research units, all located in the old Institute building (Niederrad). Circuit Function Brain circuits can be considered at many different levels. These levels span the interests of the MPI for Brain Research. For example, the intracellular protein network present in synapses includes all essential features of circuits including connected elements, communication, regulation and feedback. In response to signals from other neurons in a circuit, synapses inte。
