State-of-the-Art Review: Bridging the gap between single receptor type activity and whole‐brain dynamics

Presseinformation der RUB / Press release RUB

With colleagues from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona and Oxford University we present concepts of receptor-specific modulations of brain dynamics. We outline how predictions obtained in computer models can be refined by experimental methods. Our long-term goal is to develop new ways of diagnosing and treating mental disorders.


The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a research unit of the Faculty of Computer Science at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Its scientific goal is to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory and effector systems. Inspired by our insights into such natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental psychology and neurophysiology as well as machine learning, neural artificial intelligence, computer vision, and robotics.
