Distinct Nerve Wiring of Human Memory

The black box of the human brain is beginning to open. Although animal models are crucial for our understanding of the mammalian brain, the less frequently collected human data reveal important peculiarities. In a recent paper published in the journal Cell, a team led by the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and the Medical University of Vienna has shed light on the human hippocampal region CA3, which is central to memory storage.

The Ignaz Semmelweis Institute will start work at the beginning of 2025. This new institute with a focus on infection biology and pandemic preparedness is a collaboration between MedUni Vienna, MedUni Graz, MedUni Innsbruck, Johannes Kepler University Linz and the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna. The institute is dedicated to infectious disease research in order to achieve a better understanding of pathogens and diseases as well as the development of countermeasures such as therapeutics and vaccines.
