Together with international colleagues Annette will work on a replication grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO), awarded to Sanne de Wit and Jaap JM Murre from the University of Amsterdam in March 2020. Four labs, including the O’BRAIN Lab, Paul Fletcher’s Lab at the University of Cambridge, and Julia...
The O’BRAIN Lab presented a whooping 4 posters at the 16th Leipzig Research Festival of Life Sciences at the end of January, with topics ranging from neural responses to food odors in obesity to diet-associated differences in peripheral dopamine precursors. Many thanks to the presenting O’BRAIN researchers Maria Poessel, Franzi...
On our last day in the beautiful and surprising summerly Finnish capital we visited the public Helsinki Central Library Oodi to anticipate and discuss obstacles our lab will have to grapple with when Annette relocates to Finland.
It’s Saturday in Helsinki and the fourth day of our trip to explore the Northern Neurosciences. We are treated to blue skies and are greeted by a flurry of sea gulls. Though the scene is idyllic, ten O’BRAINers are on a mission. This time, heading into the city centre, the...
We kicked off our last day at NNM with a plenary lecture by Laura Colgin, who came all the way from Austin, Texas, to deliver a lucid and engaging talk about the different roles of fast and slow gamma waves in memory encoding and retrieval.
The second day, Thursday June 13th, was filled with interesting talks, symposia and two poster sessions. The lecturers gave us fascinating insight into their research covering cellular bases of brain function and behavior.
On the agenda are the 3rd Nordic Neuroscience Meeting and a visit to the new lab of group leader Annette Horstmann, who was recently appointed as an Associate Professor of Behavioural and Brain Sciences at the Department of Psychology and Logopedics at the University of Helsinki.
The entire lab is traveling to Helsinki next week (11th — 17th June) to attend the Nordic Neuroscience Meeting 2019.
If you ever wondered what happens during binge eating, the local TV network MDR has released a neat 4 minute long TV clip (in German). It features our PhD student Maria Waltmann who, together with Nadine Herzog, currently collects data for a large study investigating the shared and differential neurocognitive mechanisms of obesity and binge eating disorder.
Annette will travel to the US next week to present as an invited speaker at a prestigious workshop on Real-Time fMRI Neurofeedback at National Institute of Mental Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD (USA). Check out the line up and agenda here.
