Forschungsgruppe Vergleichende Neurowissenschaften

Icon für die Gruppe "Vergleichende Neurowissenschaften"

Das übergreifende Ziel der Forschungsgruppe Vergleichende Neurowissenschaft ist es, die neuronalen Mechanismen zu verstehen, die der zeitlichen Integration von auditiver Information zugrunde liegen. Zu diesem Zweck verwenden wir einen vergleichenden Ansatz mit komplementären Messungen der Aktivität großer neuronaler Populationen im auditorischen Kortex und verwandter Hirnstrukturen mit gleichzeitigen Magnetoenzephalographie- (MEG) und Elektroenzephalographie- (EEG) Aufnahmen vom Menschen und von kleinen Populationen, die durch intrakranielle Mikroelektroden-Aufnahmen von nichtmenschlichen Primaten gewonnen werden. Dementsprechend erstrecken sich unsere experimentellen Daten über mehrere Beobachtungsebenen, von der neuronalen Massenaktivität großer neuronaler Populationen über lokale Feldpotenziale kleiner Populationen bis hin zur Spiking-Aktivität einzelner Neuronen. Wir entwickeln komplementäre experimentelle Ansätze, die so konzipiert sind, dass sie sowohl auf Studien mit Menschen als auch mit Affen anwendbar sind. Um die Lücke zwischen der Forschung an Mensch und Tier noch weiter zu schließen, bilden wir intra- und extrakranielle Messungen der neuronalen Aktivität mit Hilfe von Rechenmodellen der Signalverarbeitung im auditorischen Kortex aufeinander ab.

    Leiter

    Michael Brosch hat Physik an den Universitäten Bielefeld und Marburg studiert. Anschließend hat er an der Universität Marburg im Fachbereich Physik in der Abteilung Biophysik promoviert. Danach hat er als Postdoc an der University of California in San Francisco gearbeitet. Seit 1995 ist Michael Brosch Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am LIN und hat sich 2006 an der OVGU habilitiert. Seit 2009 hat er das Speziallabor "Primatenneurobiologie" am LIN geleitet. Seit 2020 leitet er gemeinsam mit Reinhard König die Forschungsgruppe Comparative Neuroscience.
     

    Reinhard König war seit 2004 Co-Leiter des Speziallabors Nicht-Invasive Bildgebung und verantwortlich für die Magnetenzephalographie (MEG). Er erhielt 1987 sein Diplom in Physik an der Universität Bayreuth, wo er auch 1993 promovierte und sich 2000 habilitierte. Er war Postdoktorand an der physikalischen Fakultät der University of Nottingham (1994-1996) und Gastwissenschaftler an der Brain Research Unit der Helsinki University of Technology (2001-2002). Seine Forschungsinteressen umfassen Gedächtnisprozesse des menschlichen Gehirns, mit Schwerpunkt auf dem auditorischen Kortex, sowie die Entwicklung und Anwendung von Methoden und Techniken zur Verarbeitung und Analyse biomagnetischer Signale. Ein weiteres wesentliches Element seiner Forschungsarbeiten ist die rechnergestützte Modellierung der Signalverarbeitung im Hörkortex, die auch Bestandteil eines Projektes zur Ökostrom-Gewinnung mittels Ozeanwellen ist.
