SNN Best Poster Award 2016 to Thomas Stefanelli
23 January 2016
Thomas Stefanelli (Christian Lüscher PhD student, ex- Dominique Müller) won the best poster prize awarded by the Swiss Society for Neuroscience.
The study examines neural ensemble involved in memory processes: the cellular engram.
Stefanelli and colleagues reveal a mechanism of lateral inhibition that modulates the size of the cellular engram in the dentate gyrus and controls the stability of contextual fear memory.
