back to Team Magdalena Anna Springer Post Doc Room 2.314Email:magdalena.springer@uni-koeln.dePhone: +49-221-470-6463 I am interested in investigating the neural circuits that form the olfactory system in arthropods. At first glance, an arthropod brain seems to be rather simple to understand in comparison to a mammalian brain. However, a closer look raises a lot of questions regarding […]

back to Team Anna-Maria Jürgensen PhD Student Room 1.318Email: a.juergensen@uni-koeln.dePhone: +49-221-470-76128 My work is centered around understanding the mechanisms underlying associative learning. I use computer simulations of rate and spiking network models of the Drosophila olfactory system to study learning through synaptic plasticity. In collaborations with experimental labs I focus on implementing the brain areas […]
