Foreign Media: German top neuroscientist and Brain Prize winner Arthur Konnerth has joined Shenzhen Bay Laboratory in China on a full-time basis. He is renowned for pioneering brain imaging technologies, and his research focuses on the fundamental mechanisms of learning and memory, combining electrophysiological, imaging, and cell techniques.

Konnerth invented the in vitro brain slice patch-clamp recording method, which has become a cornerstone of modern neuroscience. He also introduced for the first time an imaging method that can simultaneously observe the activity of entire networks of brain cells. These technologies are now widely used to study how the brain controls behavior. His joining will further promote the rapid development of neuroscience research in China.
