Highlight-Double-Leibniz Lecture

We would like to invite PhD students to the PhD Pizza Lunch with Liset M. de la Prida and Thomas McHugh on Wednesday, November 5th at 12 pm in Room 201. You will have the opportunity to talk to both speakers, ask questions and exchange ideas in an informal setting. This is a great opportunity to meet two internationally recognized scientists, discuss their lectures and research, exchange ideas, and seek inspiration or career advice.

Liset M. de la Prida leads the Neural Circuits Laboratory at the Instituto Cajal (CSIC) in Madrid, Spain. Her group explores how hippocampal circuits generate rhythmic activity to support memory, integrating experiments from rodent models to human brain recordings. She is widely recognized for her influential work on hippocampal microcircuit function in health and disease.

Thomas McHugh, Team Leader of the Circuit and Behavioral Physiology Laboratory at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan, is widely known in the field for his influential contributions to understanding hippocampal mechanisms underlying memory. He combines in vivo electrophysiology and advanced genetic tools in rodent models to explore how hippocampal and connected brain circuits encode, consolidate and retrieve spatial and episodic memories.

Please forward this invitation to all students who might be interested in attending.
