Reconstruction of the inner ear of a mongolian gerbil with the cochlea and vestibular system. The auditory nerve cells of the inside of the cochlea (red) were stimulated with optcal fibers (grey cylinders) at several locations.

Scientists of the Neuroscience Department at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) and the Auditory Neuroscience and Optogenetics Laboratory of the German Primate Center (DPZ) show an improved resolution of pitch in artificial hearing by optical stimulation of the inner ear.

In the first issue of 2019 we report on the pandemic potential of MERS viruses, introduce our new Junior Research Group leader Caspar Schwiedrzik and give a review of the fourth “Nacht des Wissens”.

Human cells that produce virosomes. The cells were modified to produce fluorescent Ebola envelope protein. This protein is built into the cell membranes and constricts itself in the form of virosomes. The virosomes are about one ten thousandth of a millimeter in size and have been visualized using high-resolution microscopy. Photo: University Hospital Tübingen
