Welcome to the Collaborative
Research Center 1315 Website

How does the brain transform neural representations into a new framework of prior experience? And how are these evolving brain states – what we call memory consolidation, maintained over time?

Watch Matthew Larkum, Spokesperson and Head Larkum Lab introducing the Collaborative Research Center 1315.

Research Highlights as Smartfigures

The Collaborative Research Centre publishes research results as Smart Figures. These interactive visualisations make it possible to present complex data and findings in a clear and understandable way in order to provide researchers worldwide with easier access to the latest findings.

Projects: A01, A02, A03, A04, A05

Fly | Bird

Research on birds to investigate memory mechanisms.
Projects: A06, A07, A08

Human

Research on humans to investigate memory mechanisms.
Projects: B03, B04, B05, B06

Theory
