Research
- Clinical Trials
-
Bioimaging
Research focus is on the cellular basis of learning and memory as well as network activity of neurons in the brain under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
-
Peripheral and central nerve fiber anatomy
The architecture of the nerve fibers in the human brain describes the spatial structure and connectivity in the central nervous system. The field has been gaining increasing scientific interest over the past few years.
- Fetal Brain Development and Disease Programming
- Neurodegenerative Diseases
-
Neuroglia
The research group analyses cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuroglial interactions under physiological and pathophysiological conditions in the visual system.
-
Neuroimaging
Main areas of research involve structural and functional imaging.
-
Endogenous Neural Stem Cells
The role of endogenous neural stem cells for functional improvement and reorganisation following brain damage in adults.
-
Neuropsychology
The relationship between disease and a reduced power of processing as well as the outcome on cognitive performance is investigated by means of diagnostic tools based on the "Theory of Visual Attention" (Bundesen et al., 2005).
-
Neuroregeneration
The group primarily investigates the intrinsic cellular regulation of axon regeneration in mature post-lesion CNS. In addition, factors influencing cell proliferation and differentiation as well as axonal polarity during embryonic development are examined.
-
Ageing and Plasticity
Fundamental research relating to mechanisms influencing brain ageing, stroke development, and subsequent reorganisation processes.
- Klinische Studien
-
Sektion Neurologische Rehabilitation
Die Forschergruppe Sektion Neurorehabilitation untersucht die neuronale Plastizität des Gehirns im Alter mit Hilfe funktioneller MRT und Magnetstimulation.
