Sir Henry Dale Fellowship to Dr Gülsen Sürmeli

Many congratulations to Dr Gülsen Sürmeli who has been awarded a prestigious Wellcome Trust/Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellowship.

Many congratulations to Dr Gülsen Sürmeli who has been awarded a prestigious Wellcome Trust/Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellowship which will provide her with £1.3M over 60 months for her research project ‘An investigation of distributed cortical neural circuit mechanisms for memory storage’. 

 

The focus of the project is to provide a cellular and mechanistic understanding to how long term memories are stored in the cortex. The early focus will be on delineating the pathways of communication between the hippocampal/entorhinal complex and the rest of the brain. A later focus will be on the activity of select cortical neurons to reveal how cortical information processing evolves over time as memories mature.   I am absolutely delighted to have been granted this award. It will allow me to apply cutting-edge methods to unravelling cellular level principles of one of the most intriguing cognitive functions of the mind, memory. I also look forward to continue to be part of the stimulating and collaborative Edinburgh Neuroscience community
