Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience

The Bernstein Center Berlin is dedicated to one of the most important questions in neuroscience: How is it possible that we can react to sensory stimuli with the highest precision, although neuronal processes in our brain at all levels synapses, neurons, local networks and even entire neural systems react very differently to the same stimulus? Research groups from Charité, Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Max Delbrueck Center, Technische Universität Berlin and the University of Potsdam are involved in the Center's interdisciplinary research. It is part of the national Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience (NNCN) and is financially supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
