  • brain imaging
Prof. Henning Boecker gained his expertise in multimodal functional and structural brain imaging at Forschungszentrum Jülich, at Max-Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry Göttingen, at PET Cyclotron Unit, Hammersmith Hospitals, London, and at Nuclear Medicine Clinic, Klinikum rechts der Isar, TU Munich. His team employs modern imaging techniques, in particular magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography, for understanding pathophysiological mechanisms underlying different neurological and psychiatric diseases, especially neurodegenerative diseases. Other research areas comprise mechanisms of innovative neuromodulatory therapies like deep brain stimulation and Mr-guided focused ultrasound, as well as mechanisms of neuroplasticity and prevention, with a focus on endurance sports. The research group cooperates tightly with the German Sport University Cologne (DSHS) and the German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE).
