Colleagues from AG Weber, AG Beck and Prof. Blaess are proudly presenting the University of Bonn’s key research profile area “Life&Health” at the open day of Villa Hammerschmidt this Sunday, June 24th. Please feel invited to visit the research tent Read More …
The open day at Villa Hammerschmidt takes place on Sunday, 24th of June. From 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., guests can visit the Federal Presidents official residence in Bonn. Exhibitors of German and international science institutions present their works within Read More …
Our research aims at gaining a better functional understanding of disease-related changes of individual neuronal compartments such as single synapses on dendrites during behaviour. Even the smallest changes in the processing of synaptic signals can easily lead to a change Read More …
My group is interested in the structural identification and functional characterization of neuronal networks in the mammalian brain.

The central nervous system is a highly organized system in which millions of neurons communicate using diffusible transmitters at adjustable synaptic connections. The regulation of synaptic transmitter release and transmitter uptake and dilution are key mechanisms keepig the excitation/inhibition balance Read More …
The goal of the Priority Programme is to uncover the principles governing the connectivity of CNS structures, to understand how connectivity motifs form through development and learning, how they give rise to normal function, and how they change in CNS Read More …
The DFG research unit involves Bonn scientists A. Becker. D. Isbrandt, and T. Kelly and H. Beck from the IEECR and focuses on how epilepsy-associated mutations interact with developmental mechanisms to cause a hyperexcitable and dysfunctional network. Find more information Read More …
Our institute will host a CURE (Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy) sponsored “Frontiers in Research Seminar”.
A recent opinion article published in the Cell Press journal ‘Trends in Neuroscience’ by Oliver Braganza and Heinz Beck discusses implications of the recent boom in ‘multilevel neuroscience’.
We study the neural mechanisms of cognitive and motor function in healthy humans, the correlates of individual differences in cognition and personality, and dysfunction of cognition and motor control in patients with psychiatric disorders. The group uses methods from experimental Read More …
