How does the brain process information so that it is able to learn new things and store old memories? At the Centre for Integrative Neuroplasticity (CINPLA) research is conducted on rats and experimental biology and computational physics are used to understand more about this topic. Associate Professor Marianne Fyhn (to the left of the picture) at the Department of Biosciences is heading this work. She is seen here with PhD scholars Kristian Kinden Lensjø and Elise Holter Thompson. Read a description of their research in Apollon.  In the autumn, CINPLA was awarded a major new project, DigiBrain, through the Research Council of Norway’s priority area ‘digital life’. See also the CINPLA web page. The group works closely with the cortical circuits group, which is headed by Torkel Hafting at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine.
