Es gibt für den Vorgang um die Ablehnung von Brosius-Gersdorf nur eine plausible Erklärung: Ein großer Teil der Unionsfraktion liest inzwischen mehr Nius, Tichy, Apollo, Compact & Co. als seriöse Medien. Denn das waren die Quellen all dieser Lügen und Übertreibungen, die die Taz als solche entlarvt:
Wahl der VerfassungsrichterInnen: Was Brosius-Gersdorf vorgeworfen wird
Manche in der CDU/CSU wollen die Rechtsprofessorin Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf als Verfassungsrichterin verhindern. Doch die Gründe überzeugen nicht.

🧠 Paper out!
We investigated how hippocampal and cortical ripples support memory during movie watching. We found that:
🎬 Hippocampal ripples mark event boundaries
🧩 Cortical ripples predict later recall
Ripples may help transform real-life experiences into lasting memories!

Your brain doesn’t just passively track time ⏳ - it structures it.
In @Science.org we show that activity in 🧠 memory circuits (LEC) drifts constantly, but makes sharp jumps at key moments, segmenting life into meaningful events. (1/2)

Event structure sculpts neural population dynamics in the lateral entorhinal cortex
Our experience of the world is a continuous stream of events that must be segmented and organized at multiple timescales. The neural mechanisms underlying this process remain unknown. In this work, we...
