The European Research Council (ERC) supports Professor Dr. Markus Siegel from HIH and the Werner Reichardt Center for Integrative Neuroscience with an ERC Consolidator Grant. Siegel and his team investigate the neuronal foundations of our thinking and acting in the project "Neuronal Information through Neuronal Interactions (NINI)". They combine the latest electrophysiological and analytical techniques to investigate how sensory, cognitive and motor information is generated in the brain and to what extent interactions between different nerve cell networks are involved. The ERC Consolidator Grant supports scientists with several years of research experience in building a career and their own research team.
