4. Tag der Sinne - die Sinne bewusst erleben 
Hören, Sehen, Riechen, Schmecken und Tasten sind 5 wichtige Sinne, mit denen wir täglich unsere Umwelt wahrnehmen. Das Gezwitscher von Vögeln, der Geschmack unserer Lieblings-Eissorte, der Duft einer Rose, die Schönheit eines Regenbogens erleben wir durch unsere Sinne. Doch warnen sie uns auch vor Gefahren, wie dem Rauch von Feuer, dem Signalton einer Alarmanlage oder dem Geruch und Geschmack von Ungenießbarem.
Wie aber funktionieren die Augen oder der Geruchssinn? Wie entstehen unterschiedliche Töne? Und was ist, wenn unsere Sinne im Alter nachlassen? Antworten auf diese Fragen, Hintergründe und Wissenswertes werden durch spielerisches Ausprobieren unter Anleitung der Göttinger Wissenschaftler vermittelt. Ein umfangreicher Sinnesparcours bietet Kindern (ab 3 Jahre), Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen verschiedene Mitmachexperimente und Demonstrationen. Durch das Experimentieren mit Schall, Geruchs- und Geschmacksstoffen oder Fühlkästen werden die eigene Wahrnehmung erforscht und die Sinne geschärft. Kinder erhalten im Anschluss einen Sinnesforscherpass. Ein weiterer Raum informiert über das Thema „Altern mit allen Sinnen“.
Veranstalter sind der Sonderforschungsbereich 889 „Zelluläre Mechanismen der sensorischen Verarbeitung“, sowie die Universitätsmedizin Göttingen und das Forum Wissen.
Eine Anmeldung ist nicht erforderlich. Der Eintritt ist frei.

Exhibition „Sinneswelten II“ (World of Senses II)
Once again, new fascinating enlargements of microscope images are presented in the exhibition „Sinneswelten“ (World of Senses) at the University Medical Center Göttingen. The gallery can be visited by patients, students and UMG employees, and is located between the main entrance and the Bettenhaus 1. (External visitors should inform themselves about the current corona obligations before entering the UMG building)
The exhibition “Sinneswelten” provides special insights into the wonderful world of senses at the cellular level of sensory cells and neurons from an artistic perspective. The displayed images are results of the daily work of the scientists at the Collaborative Research Center 889 (CRC889). They have been acquired with different microscopic techniques and show the beauty inside the sensory systems. Some images have been modified using different filters, others remained unchanged. This mix opens up a completely new and fascinating world, which the scientists want to share with the public.
Since 2011, scientists of the CRC 889 investigate sensory processing and the underlying cellular mechanisms. The network includes experts affiliated with different institutions all over the Göttingen Campus and supports close collaboration and lively scientific exchange.
The exhibition was realized by the CRC 889 in collaboration with the Cluster of Excellence “Multiscale Bioimaging: From Molecular Machines to Networks of Excitable Cells” (MBExC).

Course on "Fundamental Principles of Sensory Processing"
Rapid and reliable processing of sensory information is fundamental for all living organisms. This process does not only rely on specialized sensory organs but also requires complex neuronal circuits to integrate and interpret the incoming signals. This course aimed to shed light on the basic principles underlying sensory perception and encoding, reaching from basic anatomy to comprehensive network activity analysis.
We invited experts who provided an overview of the visual and auditory systems and shared their current research.

Flying Senses Symposium
The ‘Flying Senses‘ Symposium in Göttingen in October 2018 will highlight recent advances in the understanding of the processing of sensory information, using the genetic model organism Drosophila.
It will bring together people working on different sensory modalities, including vision, olfaction, hearing and mechanosensation, and aim to discuss the current status of research and work out fundamental principles of sensory processing. Using flies as a system allows to shed light on the molecular and cellular properties, neurophysiological features, and how these link to circuit function and behavior, allowing for an integrated view on sensory processing.
The conference is hosted jointly by the Collaborative Research Center 889 and the European Neuroscience Institute Göttingen.

11th Molecular Biology of Hearing and Deafness conference 2018
We would like to announce the ‘11th Molecular Biology of Hearing and Deafness Conference’ to be held from May 16th to 19th 2018 in Göttingen, Germany. This international conference serves the exchange of researchers about the latest developments in the field. Here, besides the identification of so-far unknown deafness genes, new methods of exome- / genome-analysis will be presented. Advances in the identification of gene-function-relationships will be discussed as well as the role of specific genes in the molecular physiology of hearing and in age-dependent hearing loss. Speakers will also cover potential strategies for gene therapy and prepare the transfer of the results from basic research into clinical application. The conference is hosted by the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in cooperation with the Collaborative Research Center 889.

Sensory Winter School
Our first "Sensory Winter School" took place Jan. 17th-19th, 2011, in the Harz mountains, at the Internationales Haus Sonnenberg in St. Andreasberg. It was a joint retreat of the sensory and motor neuroscience program (SMN) and the newly awarded SFB 889. Students and postdocs gave progress reports/presentations of their research, with group activites also planned. see photos
