Seminar “Cognitive adventures os single neurons in the human medial temporal lobe”

The Institute for Bioengineering invites you next Tuesday 24/09/2024 at 12:00, in the auditorium of the IB, to the seminar entitled “Cognitive adventures of single neurons in the human medial temporal lobe” given by Dr. Florian Mormann from the University Hospital, Department of Epileptology University of Bonn, Germany and organized by Prof. Eduardo Fernández Jover (IB-UMH).

Dr. Mormann is specialized in cognitive neurophysiology, with a focus on the neurobiology of perception and memory. His work explores neural behavior in the medial temporal lobe to understand how conscious perceptions are transformed into episodic memory traces. In addition, in the field of clinical neurophysiology, he investigates the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to the onset of epileptic seizures, focusing on microscopic phenomena such as high frequency oscillations, micro-seizures, and cellular and neural network behavior.

Notable publications include studies such as “Distinct neuronal representation of small and large numbers in the human medial temporal lobe” in Nature Human Behaviour and “How coupled slow oscillations, spindles and ripples c¿oordinate neuronal processing and communication during human sleep” in Nature Neuroscience (2023).
