This article deals with the effect of healthy aging on the interregional communication within the motor cortex, which is defined as synchronization in certain frequency bands. We could show that younger subjects used a rather small and strongly lateralized network. In older subjects these connections were significantly reduced, while additional intra- and interhemispheric connections were observed. These results support the HAROLD model and suggest a compensatory network mechanism.

Motor performance declines with normal aging. Previous neuroimaging work revealed aging-related general increases in neural activity, especially in th…

Last week, we visited the TeaP in Dresden - thus greetings from the 59th Conference of Experimental Psychologists!
We had a very good time listening to great tasks and meeting many researchers from different fields. Thank you for the interesting conference 2017!

SOCIAL COGNITION WORKING GROUP

The aim of the research group “social cognition” is to understand how and why we interact with each other.
Humans are social beings. We often search for company and prefer interacting with others. But how exactly does this work? Small body movements, like pointing hands or gaze-shifts, facilitate verbal but also nonverbal communication. With the aid of a gaze-shift, we can redirect the attention of another person on a specific object or situation in the surrounding. The other person can interpret these nonverbal cues and adumbrate what the other person wants to say. This ability is called “theory of mind” and is essential for social interaction.
But what is about people who cannot understand such nonverbal signals? Here, we are interested in “autism”, a general term for a group of complex disorders. These disorders are characterized by, for example, difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication.
What is the difference between a person with and a person without autism? To answer this question, our research group designs simple behavioral experiments and with the aid of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) we try to find the neuronal correlates of social interaction. With these results we try to understand the basic principle of the question, why humans like being together.

JÜLICH MEMORY CLINIC: With increasing life expectancy in western countries, we are facing new challenges in sustaining the quality of life. Indeed, growing older is accompanied by some perils: our memory performance decreases, we start to forget names and dates, or lose our keys or glasses. Also, we are at higher risk of developing dementia. But where do we draw the line between healthy aging and the onset of cognitive impairment as a symptom of dementia? Are there detectable neural differences between healthy and pathological brains? What are possible prevention and treatment methods of memory disorders?

Answering these questions is the main goal of the Jülich Memory Clinic. In close collaboration with the Centre for Memory Disorders and the Cognitive Ageing and Dementia group at the University Hospital Cologne we combine patient care with scientific studies. We focus on studies exploring the effect of aging and dementia on neural networks and cognition. Novel imaging techniques (functional MRI, PET) are used to investigate molecular and metabolic changes in the human brain, their influence on brain functions, and new treatment methods.

Don't forget to stop at our institute and say hallo this SUNDAY!! There will be some fun things to try out (e.g., eye-tracking, illusions, etc.) and interesting demonstrations (e.g., TMS)! You can also sign up for our mailing list and participate in one of our studies anytime soon!


Vergesst nicht diesen Sonntag zu unserem Institut zu kommen! Ihr habt die Möglichkeit einige Dinge selbst auszuprobieren (z.B. eye-tracking) oder spannende Vorführungen (e.g. TMS) anzuschauen! Ihr könnt euch dann auch direkt in die mailing Liste eintragen lassen um bald einmal selbst an einer Studie teilzunehmen.

Last week Martin, Jana and Eileen from the Developmental Cognition group attended the International Meeting for Autism Research in Baltimore. Jana got the opportunity to give a great talk about the SORELOX project which examines the effect of oxytocin on social reinforcement learning. The conference was very inspiring and is always a great opportunity to share the results of your recent studies.

Girl's/Boy's Day at the INM-3
A few high school students came to our lab on Thursday to learn more about what you can do with a degree in psychology and neuroscience. Here we visited the TMS lab and watched a demonstration by two of our TMS experts. If YOU want to learn more about our research, you can sing up for our mailing list and participate in one of our studies or come visit our demonstrations during the Open Day on June 5!

The aim of our research group “Computational Neurology” is to construct mathematical models of the neuronal network dynamics underlying motor actions in healthy humans and stroke patients, using recordings of individual brain activity (EEG and fMRI). We intend to use mathematical models of neural oscillators, which are coupled through dynamic synapses. These synapses are affected by the activity of certain neuromodulators. Numerical Simulations of such oscillatory networks and the analysis of their complex dynamics will allow us to explain the neuronal dynamics underlying motor behaviour in healthy and pathological conditions and to formulate hypotheses of how dysfunctional network dynamics and hence motor deficits can be remedied. Such information is crucial for developing novel treatment strategies of neurological diseases by uncovering ways of restoring disrupted network activity to nearly normal one.
