Neuro Campus Initiatives:

Dr. Simone Mayer (Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research) initiated the third NCI "Pregnancy & Brain" in July 2019.

Members:

Prof. Dr. Birgit Derntl (Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, UKT)

Prof. Dr. Manfred Hallschmid (Institute for Medical Psychology and Behavioural Neurobiology, UKT)

Prof. Dr. Ingeborg Krägeloh-Mann and PD Dr. Samuel Gröschel (Department of Neuropediatrics, UKT)

Dr. Simone Mayer (Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research)

Prof. Dr. Hubert Preißl (fMEG Center / Institute for Diabetes Research and Metabolic Diseases of the Helmholtz Center Munich at the University of Tübingen)

Goals:

The brain, one of the most complex structures in nature, undergoes rapid and complex changes during embryonic and fetal life that reach far into postnatal development. Additionally, the maternal brain changes during gestation. Recent technical developments in neuroscience have brought closer together basic neurodevelopmental research and clinical neurosciences, since life history may shape disease susceptibility and progression in adulthood and senescence. Several research groups with an interest in different aspects of brain development and plasticity are spread through TNC member institutions. This Neuro Campus Initiative aims to raise awareness for developmental neuroscience questions within the TNC and provide a platform for exchange that fosters collaborations with the long-term goal of strengthening a developmental neuroscience research focus within the TNC.

Invitation to a seminar on the topic of pregnancy and brain development:

Tuesday, 24.09.19, 13.30h

Research in Tübingen

Tübingen is a special place for research. Very few locations offer such a wide range of research areas in such close proximity - both physically and figuratively. Not only are all of Tübingen's research institutions just a stone's throw away from each other, they also collaborate closely within the Tübingen Research Campus.
