🚨 New Lab at the ESI! 🚨

The Heisenberg Group at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute (ESI), led by Dr. Julio Hechavarría, is dedicated to uncovering the neural networks that drive natural behaviors, with a strong focus on how the brain processes vocalization and hearing.

🧠 Brain Organoids & Neural Circuits: The group studies human-derived cerebral organoids to understand how well they mimic real brain function—bridging the gap between artificial and natural neural networks.

💻 In Silico Modeling: Using computational simulations, they decode complex neural data and refine the understanding of how the brain processes sound.

🔬 Comparative Neuroscience: By taking a cross-species approach, they explore how different mammals perceive and produce sounds, with potential applications in both clinical and conservation research.

Exciting discoveries ahead—stay tuned! 🚀
