Heart-brain interaction

All working groups of the Department of Neurology that are investigating, among other topics, also heart-brain interactions are listed here.

Group of Julia Sacher: They work at the interesection of brain, behavior & hormones, to explore how neuroendocrine systems influence cognitive processes and mental health.

Group of Arno Villringer: The group investigates how transcranial focused ultrasound can be used in combination with MRI scanning to safely and precisely influence brain activity in both superficial and deep regions. 

Group of Arno Villringer: They investigate detrimental, self-reinforcing interactions between body and brain functions that trigger and promote the development of hypertension.

Group of Michael Gaebler: They investigates the interaction of the brain and the rest of the body during emotional processing with a special focus on potential modulators of cardio- and cerebrovascular health.

Group of Vadim Nikulin: They investigate functional implications of large-scale spatio-temporal neuronal complexity in the human brain. 

Group of Hadas Okon-Singer: The group investigates the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying cognitive biases and their modification, to translate cognitive science into clinically meaningful applications.
