In October 2024, Prof. Bartos undertook a one-month sabbatical in Boston to deepen collaborations with researchers known for their outstanding contribution in areas of interneuron development, interneuron-glia interactions, and the structural and functional dynamics of cortical interneurons. At Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Brandeis University, Prof. Bartos met with Prof. Gina Turringano, Prof. Elly Nevidi, Prof. Eve Marder and Prof. Amar Sahay (to name a few) sharing insights on recent advancements in the field and cutting-edge methodologies. Prof. Bartos also attended the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in Chicago.

Dr. Anna Schroeder, a neuroscientist and postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Prof. Dr. Johannes Letzkus at the Institute of Physiology, Dept. I, was awarded an ERC starting grant for her project CERTASTATES. In this project, she will investigate how internal states drive behavioral flexibility with a focus on the neural circuits of the subthalamic zona incerta. Motivated by the fact that this little studied brain region is one of few established targets for deep brain stimulation in humans, the project also aims to explore how clinically-applied neuromodulation can transform state-driven computations with the aim to develop new therapeutic directions for psychiatric disease. To achieve these goals, Dr. Schroeder will employ cutting-edge molecular, cellular and circuit-level technologies in mouse models together with diverse behavioral paradigms and advanced machine learning techniques. CERTASTATES will be carried out at the Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) of Munich, where, as of April 2025, Dr. Schroeder will be a tenure-track W2 Professor of Systemic Neuroscience.
