Marianne Hafting Fyhn (born 11 October 1973) is a Norwegian biologist and professor at the University of Oslo. She was an important part of the team that worked on grid cell, which later resulted, in 2014, Norwegian scientists receiving the Nobel Prize in …

In my research I want to identify the neural fingerprint that reflects learning of sensory experiences in cortical circuits from structural changes of synapses to changes in the population code of neural ensembles in behaving animals.

Professor Marianne Fyhn completed her PhD in Neuroscience (2005) at NTNU, Norway, where she was seminal to the discovery of grid cells. Her work contributed to the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2014 awarded to M-B and E Moser.

Marianne Fyhn is director of Centre for Integrative Neuroplasticity (CINPLA). CINPLA is a strategic research initiative at the MN Faculty. at UiO, aiming to reveal mechanisms underlying the brain’s ability. to change and learn from experiences. By integrating experimental. methods with physics-based computational modelling and analysis,

Dr. Marianne Fyhn was born in Morehead City, North Carolina, but grew up in Norway where she earned her M.Sc. on the bioenergetics of arctic seabirds (1998) and her Ph.D. in neuroscience in the lab of Drs. May-Britt and Edvard Moser at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Her studies focused on the spatial

Aug 27, 2004 · As the interface between hippocampus and neocortex, the entorhinal cortex is likely to play a pivotal role in memory. To determine how information is represented in this area, we measured spatial modulation of neural activity in layers of medial entorhinal cortex projecting to the hippocampus.

"Marianne Fyhn" Bio: Marianne Fyhn discovered the fine spatial tuning of cells in entorhinal cortex (grid cells) after she had been recording from hippocampus subfields CA1, CA3 and dentate gyrus in the Moser lab at NTNU.

Featured researches published by Marianne Fyhn. The ability to find ones way depends on neural algorithms that integrate information about place, distance and direction, but the implementation of these operations in cortical microcircuits is poorly understood.
