The MBExC congratulates computer scientist and brain researcher Prof. Dr. Alexander Ecker from the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPIDS) for receiving a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC). The ERC is thus supporting his project “Deep Neuron Embeddings: Data-driven multi-modal discovery of cell types in the neocortex” for five years with a total of 1.5 million euros. MBExC associated member Ecker and his team are interested to find out how the form and function of neurons in the cerebral cortex are connected.
