Department Systems Physiology of Learning

In the Department "Systems Physiology of Learning", we investigate neuronal mechanisms of diverse phenomena in the context of learning and memory. We focus predominantly on the level of neuronal circuits, both within selected brain regions and as connections between brain regions. To investigate the neuronal mechanisms underlying learning we combine behavioral experiments, including detection, discrimination and categorization learning, with electrophysiological recording (of single cells, cell assemblies, local field potentials, electrocorticograms and EEG), with optical recording (using voltage-sensitive dyes and Ca2+ imaging), and with optogenetic, electrical and pharmacological intervention strategies.

Within the last years, we have successfully finalized our projects in the Collaborative Research Centers CRC TRR 31 (Active listening) and CRC TRR 62 (A companion technology for techncial communication systems)and CRC 779 (Neurobiology of motivated behavior), as well as our project in the USA-German Collaboration on Computational Neuroscience.

    Frank Ohl studied biology at the technical University of Darmstadt where he received his diploma, on the topic of learning-induced cortical receptive field plasticity, and his doctorate on nonlinear interactions between spectral components in cortical representation of complex sounds, both with distinction. He spent his postdoctoral phase with Walter J. Freeman at UC Berkeley, USA, on mechanisms underlying cortical neurodynamics during perception and learning. He is fascinated how in modern neuroscience, novel cutting-edge technologies meet age-old questions about the nature of the mind, and advocates that modern brain research should transcend traditional disciplines in science. His teaching and lecture activities focus on systems neuroscience but also include many interdisciplinary topics, ranging from classical electrodynamics to philosophical implications of neuroscience for law. His department assembles a group of highly motivated scientists with a converging interest in circuit-level neurophysiology.

    Frank Ohl has been the spokesman of the recently successfully completed Magdeburg CRC 779 (Neurobiology of motivated behavior), as well as the local spokesman of the transregional (Oldenburg-Magdeburg) CRC TRR 31 (Active Listening) and coordinator of the Leibniz Postdoctoral Network (LPN, Impact of monoamines on neuronal circuits).

    The CRC 779 (Neurobiology of motivated behavior), whose coordinator is the director of this department, has started the third funding period after successful evaluation. Here we investigate the interaction of sensory brain regions with those regions that generate "meaning" in the brain.

    Our project in the DFG Priority Program 1665 (Resolving and manipulating neuronal networks in the mammalian brain) has entered into its renewed funding phase. Here we want to go beyond the correlative research strategies established in the neurosciences and investigate causal mechanisms, i.e. support learning performance in the individual by specific manipulation of brain processes.

    In the framework of the EU-funded International Graduate School ABINEP (Analysis, imaging, and modelling of neuronal and inflammatory processes) we investigate the influence of the neurotransmitter dopamine on the communication between sensory and meaning-evaluating brain structures.

    The neuronal mechanisms that underlie the phenomenon of behavioral strategy change are investigated in the new project IAIS (Intention-based anticipatory interactive systems) in collaboration with colleagues from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology and the Faculty of Computer Science from OVGU.
