Researchers at IMBB-FORTH challenge the dogma that wants interneurons to be “simple”.

Computational modeling in the Poirazi lab (www.dendrites.gr) at IMBB-FORTH (www.imbb.forth.gr) shed new light on how Fast Spiking Basket Cells – a central subtype of GABAergic inhibitory neurons- integrate their incoming signals, taking advantage of their recently discovered dendritic non-linearities. The article, entitled: “Challenging the point neuron dogma: FS basket cells as 2-stage nonlinear integrators” authored by IMBB researchers Alexandra Tzilivaki, George Kastellakis and Panayiota Poirazi was recently published in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

Dr. Nektarios Chrysoulakis will coordinate an international research programme on urban resilience using Earth Observation technology
Funding, Research

Nektarios Chrysoulakis, Director of Research at the Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics (IACM) of FORTH and head of the Remote Sensing Lab, will coordinate a large international research project on the evolution of the European initiative Copernicus. This project is funded by the Framework Programme H2020 (Space) of the European Commission with a total amount of 2.9 million euros for the time period 2020-2022, of which 0.5 million euros will specifically fund the research activities at the IACM.

The second ERC Proof of Concept Grant for the INSPIRE Group, ICS-FORTH
ERC, Funding

Associate Professor Xenofontas Dimitropoulos, Affiliated Researcher to ICS-FORTH, ERC Starting Grant holder, and his team, the INSPIRE research group, were awarded their second ERC Proof of Concept grant for the RAVEN project. The ERC Proof of Concept Grants aim to maximize the value of the excellent research already supported by ERC, by funding further work (i.e., activities which were not scheduled to be funded by the original ERC frontier research grant) in order to explore the innovation potential of ideas arising from these projects. Proof of Concept Grants are therefore on offer only to Principal Investigators whose proposals draw substantially on their ERC funded research.
