2021 Feb BOOK CHAPTER: Neuronal oscillations and the mouse prefrontal cortex
Felix Jung, PhD student in the lab, and Marie Carlén review findings on the role of neuronal oscillations in prefrontal functioning, with a specific focus on research in mice. We discuss discoveries pertaining to local prefrontal processing, as well to interactions with other brain regions. We also discuss how the recent discovery of brain-wide respiration-entrained rhythms (RR) warrant re-evaluation of certain findings on slow oscillations (<10 Hz) in prefrontal functioning.

2020 Sep CarlenLab receives 32.2M SEK grant
Sep 30 2020
The CarlénLab receives 3.0M€ (32.2M SEK) for the project “Brain circuits in decision-making” from the Knut & Alice Wallenbergs Foundation!
The project will run over 5 years and be conducted in collaboration with the lab of KONSTANTINOS MELETIS. The interactions between the prefrontal cortex and the striatum will be studied with large-scale electrophysiology and calcium imaging in behaving mice.

2020 July The DMCdrive goes live!
July 2020
The DMCdrive goes live!
Want to long-term record and manipulate neuronal activity in freely moving mice or rats? Then we strongly recommend going for our DMCdrive holding four movable tetrodes + optical fiber, that can be built from 3D printed parts in 4h without much experience. Very reliable optotagging and recovery of single unit and LFP activities over many days.
Designed by senior researcher Hoseok Kim.

2019 Sep Postdoc Pirre Le Merre receives 2019 NARSAD YIA
September 2019
CarlenLab postdoc Pierre Le Merre receives 2019 NARSAD Young Investigator Grant!
“The NARSAD Young Investigator Grants were initiated to fund innovative, cutting-edge research projects relevant to serious brain and behaviour disorders such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders or child and adolescent mental illnesses.
Pierre Le Merre, from the Department of Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet, is one of the “promising young candidates with innovative ideas within the field of mental health research” to receive the two-year grant.
The grant, which offers 35 000 USD per year for two years, will enable him to identify the neuronal determinants of working memory in the prefrontal cortex. Working memory is a core cognitive function affected in mental disorders such as schizophrenia. Therefore, this research programme aims to diagnose better and treat the cognitive deficits of schizophrenia.”
