A New Perspective on Memory Mechanisms

18 September 2024

A paper titled “Spatio-temporal mechanisms of consolidation, recall and reconsolidation in reward-related memory trace” by researchers from the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Polish Academy of Sciences (IBD PAN), and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, University of Warsaw (ICM UW), has been published in the prestigious journal “Molecular Psychiatry.” The scientists discovered how the brain organizes and consolidates reward-related memories. The results have practical significance for addiction research.

The National Cloud Infrastructure for Open Science is Being Established

9 July 2024

ICM UW, together with ACK Cyfronet AGH and WASKO S.A., will build a cloud infrastructure that will enable the implementation of R&D work conducted according to the Open Science paradigm. The infrastructure will be developed as part of the project “National Cloud Infrastructure PLGrid for EOSC – PLGrid ICON” funded by the National Recovery Plan. A significant part of the investment will be the purchase of new cloud clusters, which will be launched at the ICM UW Data Center in Warsaw.
