Memory Circuits Team (Michel van den Oever) and Alzheimer Team (Ronald van Kesteren) join forces to test how hyperactive interneurons affect the formation and reactivation of memory engrams. They receive a 300 k€ grant from Alzheimer Nederland to investigate this.

PhD student Esther Visser and colleagues in the team of Michel van den Oever (MCN) investigated how alcohol memories are stored in the brain and how this contributes to relapse after prolonged abstinence. Their findings were published in Science Advances.

A new study by Miguel Gonzalez-Lozano (MCN) and colleagues demonstrates how cross-linking mass spectrometry can contribute to the discovery of novel synaptic protein interactions. The study was published in Science Advances on February 19, 2020.
