    On how energy determines where proteins are produced in neurons - with Tatjana Tchumatchenko - #44

    For neurons to function, the appropriate ion-channel proteins must be present where they are needed, including in distal dendrites and axon terminals.

    This requires energy, and the guest's group has developed a mechanistic mathematical model to investigate how neurons can reduce this cost by optimizing where proteins are synthesized within the cell—locally or at more distant sites.

    The model's predictions agree with experimental findings, suggesting that energy optimization is a fundamental operating principle of neurons.

    On the computational neuroscience legacy of Valentino Braitenberg - with Ad Aertsen - #43
    Jul 25 2026

    The prominent and colorful neuroscientist Valentino Braitenberg was born 100 years ago.

    He co-founded the Max Planck Institute of Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen in Germany, where he made seminal contributions to neuroanatomy, synthetic psychology, and theories for cerebellar, fly vision and cortical function.

    He was celebrated at the recent Braitenberg*100 symposium which I attended together with today's guest.

    Ad Aertsen is an outstanding computational neuroscientist and worked with Braitenberg back in the days.
