On 17 October 2024, Martina Lamberti publicly defended her Ph.D. thesis, “Know the Past to See the Future: Memory and Prediction in In-Vitro Cortical Neurons,” at the University of Twente. Her research sheds light on how the brain predicts future events and forms memories. These findings could open new doors in understanding neurological conditions like dementia.
While memory has been extensively studied, much less is known about how the brain uses past experiences to predict future events at a cellular level. Scientists have long theorized that prediction is an actual brain function, but experimental evidence on this function and its connection with memory has been limited. Lamberti explored these cellular mechanisms involved in both memory and prediction and in the...
