DeCode Dendrites and memory: role of dendritic spikes in information coding by hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons

Coordinator: HUN-REN KISERLETI ORVOSTUDOMANYI KUTATOINTEZET (HU)

The hippocampus is essential for building episodic memories. Coding of locations, contexts or events in the hippocampus is based on the correlated activity of neuronal ensembles; however, the mechanisms promoting the recruitment of individual neurons into information-coding ensembles are poorly understood.In particular, the recurrent synaptic network of pyramidal cells (PCs) in the hippocampal CA3 area, receiving external inputs from the entorhinal cortex and the dentate gyrus, is thought to be essential for associative memory. Current models of the associative functions of CA3 are mainly bas…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €2.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6.5 years from 2018-06-01 to 2024-11-30.
