Epilepsy
One clinical emphasis of this group is neurophysiological research in patients with epilepsy. Our goals are to characterize structural and functional reorganisation caused by epileptogenic lesions, to identify mechanisms of cognitive impairment and of functional compensation, and to develop new tools for the non-invasive characterization of epileptogenic zones. This work is closely integrated with existing projects of the Clinical and Experimental Epilepsy Unit at the Institute of Neurology.
Collaborations
This group also collaborates with the Centre for Advanced Imaging of the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg , Germany . These collaborations include studies on memory-related plasticity in the limbic system on a newly acquired 7 Tesla MRI system in Magdeburg and the impact of genetic polymorphisms (for instance in dopamine inactivation pathways) on encoding and long-term plasticity.
