Researchers use deep brain stimulation to localize disrupted neural pathways
When certain connections in the brain do not function correctly, disorders such as Parkinson`s disease, dystonia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and Tourette´s syndrome may result. Targeted stimulation of specific areas in the brain can help alleviate symptoms.

Lysosome prove to be quick-change artists
Lysosomes play an important role in cells and tissues, controlling not only the degradation of substances but also cell division and growth. A team led by Professor Volker Haucke and Dr. Michael Ebner at the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) has investigated how these two functions are related to nutrient availability in the cell. The researchers were able to show for the first time that lysosomes undergo a massive transformation.

Berlin Neuroscience Meeting 2023
On October 5 and 6, the Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin (ECN) and Cluster of Excellence NeuroCure hosted the annual Berlin Neuroscience Meeting at the GLS Campus, a wonderful green oasis in the heart of Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg.
More than 250 participants attended the meeting and contributed to its diverse program. We are very happy about the tremendous interest and strong engagement on both days.
