What does real success mean for academic László Acsády, whose scientific career is full of brilliant achievements and prestigious awards? The answer may surprise anyone who has not met him personally.

To understand the complex processes of learning, we also need the tools of computational neuroscience. The results of Szabolcs Káli's group, published in eLife, have already attracted a lot of interest.

The brain is the most complex of all biological systems, and we still know very little about how it works. To change this situation, the Allen Institute's programs means significant help, and now their scientists teach us how to use them.

Luca Wittner was a Ph.D. student at IEM, but has been working at the Inst Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology for several years. At the Univ of Pécs, we learned about the benefits of central units, while she teaches us about researcher-institution collaboration.

There are still many talented people today, and there are also a good number of successful ones, but far fewer have been awarded a Talent Award. However, Ádám Dénes is one of them, as he was one of the first winners of the National Academy of Sciences' Talentum Prize!

There are many excellent research institutes around the world, with a glorious past and a bright present. Harvard and Caltech, Oxford and Cambridge compete to see who has more Nobel Prize winners. And there's "the Weizmann" in Rehovot, Israel.

Hearing about the stock market can make a person think of many things but of mice the least. Such a rare case can only happen with a special mouse like the THAI mouse of our institute, so you might want to know the extraordinary story!
