Postdoc Kristian Lensjø besøkte NRK for å snakke om studiet vårt om langtidsminner.
Erlend Lånke Solbu og Per Olav Alvestad har en podcast "Kuriøs" der de snakker om det siste fra naturvitenskapens verden - idag med Kristian Lensjø som gjest.

The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) wrote a piece about our latest publication in PNAS.
How the brain is able to store memories over long periods of time has been a persistent mystery to neuroscientists. In a new study, researchers from the Centre for Integrative Neuroplasticity (CINPLA) at the University of Oslo show that long-lived extracellular matrix molecules called perineuronal nets are essential for distant memories.
The new research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows that removal of the nets disrupts distant but not recent memories.
Congratulations to Mina Martine Frey for successfully defending her Master's thesis on October 31, 2017.
PhD student Solveig Næss and coauthors provide novel information on the nature of EEG signals with forward modelling.
This paper presents a model fitting approach, where the model parameters (ion-channel conductances) are fitted in a stepwise manner and aims to reproduce membrane potential dynamics in the soma and along the dendrites. The method could prove useful for fitting to data from voltage-sensitive dye (VSD) imaging techniques.
CINPLA's Kristian Lensjø will defend his thesis "Extracellular matrix molecules in brain plasticity and memory processing" for the degree of PhD.

Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are proposed as a key regulator of plasticity in the adult brain.
In this paper we show that the expression of PNNs differ between visual cortex, hippocampus and the medial entorhinal cortex (mEC).
