Judit Makara MD, PhD

Judit Makara is investigating how neurons in the brain’s hippocampus support the creation of memories. She is interested in the synaptic and dendritic processing mechanisms that promote the recruitment of individual neurons into ensembles with coordinated activity to store information about places or events. Judit Makara's interest is in the dendrites, that is, the extensions of neurons that receive information from other cells through so-called synaptic connections. After earning his Ph.D. Institute. From here he returns home to the MTA KOKI led by Tamás Freund.

Research in recent years has demonstrated that dendrites are actively involved in the processing of synaptic information, being able to sense and signal the arrival of complex patterns of synaptic activity to the rest of the cell. Judit Makara will study the role of dendrites in the functioning of neural networks and memory with her research team. ─ The Momentum program will help you solve your go or stay dilemma ─ formulated the announcement of results from the United States through an Internet-connected researcher. Judit Makara, who is moving home with her family, is able to utilize the methods and attitudes she has learned overseas in Hungary to a high professional standard, and she can also provide her children with a real connection with the family members living at home.
