Thesis Defense: Synaptic Engram of Flexible Behavior by Dr. Ioanna Pandi
Many congratulations to Ioanna Pandi on a successful PhD defense on March 27th, 2026! Her thesis, “Synaptic Engram of Flexible Behavior”, under the supervision of Dr. Panayiota Poirazi, marks a significant achievement as she is the very first to complete an experimental project in our lab. Ioanna, you are a brilliant researcher, and we can’t […]
Dr. Poirazi participated in a #BrainAwarenessWeek event at the European Parliament
Hosted by MEP Dr. Angelika Winzig, “𝗔 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻: 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 & 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻” took place on Wednesday 18th of March in the European Parliament’s Presidential Salon.

DendroTweaks, an interactive approach for unraveling dendritic dynamics
We are excited to share that our paper on the DendroTweaks toolbox is now published in eLife: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.103324.3. We developed this toolbox to make detailed biophysical neuronal models more intuitive and interactive. DendroTweaks offers a rich set of tools for working with neuronal morphologies, ion channels, and synaptic inputs. It is available as both a standalone […]
