Collaborative Investigation of neuronal network deficits underlying neurological disorders and its symptoms - therapeutic and developmental rescue options for translational models of schizophrenia

Neuroscience impacts many fields in today’s private and business world. An adequate understanding of new research findings and technologies is essential for both the general public and for new business strategies. What can we expect and where are our current limitations in the field of Neuroscience?In my work I have so far mainly worked on the domain of research communication.

What can we expect and where are our current limitations in the field of Neuroscience?In my work I have so far mainly worked on the domain of research communication. Especially I focus on public speaking events at a diverse range of venues from schools to conferences. I publish a stream of Neuroscience-related information in a newspaper column, on twitter and on my personal Blog. I am additionally consulting to Journalists and provide input towards start-up and technology evaluations. Show less
