Research Program
The neuronal and psychological basis of learning and memory are examined at the level of the central nervous system, of peripheral physiological processes and at the level of cognitive and motor processes. Results of the basic psychobiological research are applied to specific clinical problems. A main focus of attention is the exact elucidation of the extent of cortical and behavioral plasticity. The experimental definition of the biological and physiological boundaries of learning is used for the development of behavioral treatment strategies for disorders which have been difficult to treat or untreatable at all.
