Research Interest
A focus is on the neuroanatomical, pharmacological, physiological and behavioral aspects of development and aging. Our general working hypothesis is that pre/ peri or postnatal stress can lead to depression and this by itself can be an early initiator of neurodegeneration. In addition, neurodegeneration and functional repair are studied in animal models and in human material obtained from patients.
