Videos video Basics Communication of Cells MBD26: Silvia Cappello about Exosomes Exosomes transport signaling molecules outside the cell and across the extracellular matrix. Why and how this happens remains unclear in many respects. video Diseases Successful aging Superagers: How can we age successfully? The brains of so-called “superagers” are 30 years younger than the age stated in their passports. Read the interview with researchers from SFB 1436 in Magdeburg. video Basics The Glymphatic System Maiken Nedergaard – The Glymphatic System Everything about the glymphatic system from its discoverer, Maiken Nedergaard. video Discover Milestones A Meeting with Wolf Singer Wolf Singer is undoubtedly Germany's best-known brain researcher. We met him and talked to him about his life. video Discover Milestones A Meeting with Niels Birbaumer Niels Birbaumer is one of the most renowned neuroscientists. Here, he talks about BCIs, psychopaths, his youth, the allegations of research misconduct, and much more—in short, his life. video Discover The Fly Video | The Fly Fruit flies are not only annoying, they are also extremely adaptable, especially given their limited capabilities. They are full of surprises and are even very similar to us at the cellular level. video Discover The Fly In the Fly's Head Research on flies is not only very instructive, it is also philosophically interesting. video Basics Structure and Function The Dynamics of Neural Circuits Forget about bottom-up and top-down – it’s actually quite different and, of course, much more complicated. Keywords: active sensing and predictive coding. video Basics Structure and Function Structure and Function – The New Complexity of Neural Networks Our neurons form networks – but we are only now beginning to realize just how sophisticated our brain’s feedforward and feedback networks are. video Basics Structure and Function Structure and Function – Neurons Different tasks require different cell types, some of which differ greatly in their biophysical properties and are highly specialized. video Basics Structure and Function Structure and Function: Regeneration The entire body heals, but the brain has to make do with what it has – it cannot regenerate. Yet even here, stem cell formation can be stimulated. video Basics Structure and Function Neuron ≠ Neuron There are about 86 billion neurons in the brain. They vary greatly in form and function – with one determining the other. video Basics Structure and Function Future Regeneration The brain is amazing, but vulnerable – which makes effective treatments all the more important. In fact, there is hope: stem cell therapy works in mice. video Discover Milestones A Conversation with Eric Kandel Eric Kandel on calls from Stockholm, tennis, and the influence of bones on synapses. And a little politics. video Think Consciousness Giulio Tononi on Consciousness and Phi Giulio Tononi is one of the most important researchers in the field of consciousness – we spoke with him before his lecture at NWG 2019. video Diseases Multiple sclerosis Video | Multiple Sclerosis A healthy life depends on the free flow of nerve impulses. However, multiple sclerosis damages nerve fibers in many places, with ever-changing consequences. Thanks to modern medicine, however, it is possible to live almost normally for a long time with MS. video Percieve Smell & Taste Smell and Taste A heavenly, almost magical apple pie introduces you to the world of smell and taste. video Think Emotions Affective Neuroscience The days when emotions were merely psychological disturbances are long gone. video Diseases Alzheimer's disease Alzheimer's The number of patients is steadily rising, but that’s just a statistic. But Alzheimer’s affects the human being. video Basics Anatomy The Sheep's Brain in Comparison The sheep brain section is part of the compulsory biology curriculum for students. But why is that? video Basics Anatomy The Sheep Brain: Cranial Nerves There are twelve cranial nerves that plague students. Here is a musical mnemonic device. video Basics Anatomy The Sheep Brain: Brain Stem It fulfills central tasks. And has adult-only structures. And colorful nuclei. video Basics Anatomy The Sheep Brain: Cerebellum Fine motor skills are controlled in the cerebellum. Time plays a particularly important role in this process. video Basics Anatomy The Sheep Brain: Diencephalon The so-called "intermediate brain" comprises crucial structures. And it informs consciousness. video Basics Anatomy The Sheep Brain: Limbic System There are not only systems for sensory and motor functions, but also one for emotions. Really? video Basics Anatomy The Sheep Brain: Basal Ganglia The basal ganglia control motor function and happiness – but in sheep, only unhappiness has been proven. video Basics Anatomy The Sheep Brain: Cortex It is our cortex that makes us human. How does this work in sheep? video Percieve Hearing Hearing From falling trees to acoustic perception: philosophy in the primary auditory cortex. video Basics Communication of Cells Electrical Potentials: The Language of Neurons Neurons do not simply transmit stimuli; processing is a sophisticated process. video Basics Communication of Cells Synapses: Interfaces of Life One neuron alone does little – it must connect with others. This happens at the synapse. video Basics Communication of Cells Neurons: Building Blocks of Thinking Neurons are fundamental to all life processes. You can see how they are structured here. video Act Motor Skills Learn to Juggle: Train your Brain The brain changes depending on the demands placed on it—for example, juggling. Join in! video Think Emotions Two Pathways of Fear Fear is a powerful emotion – it can save lives. Or lead you astray. video Think Emotions Emotion – Introduction Reason and emotion are not necessarily opposites – they help to evaluate a situation. show all 34 media contents
