BERNSTEIN CENTER HEIDELBERG

The Bernstein Center Heidelberg-Mannheim investigates implications of genetic variations for neural information processing in psychiatric conditions... Recent years have seen a tremendous progress in identifying risk genes for a number of psychiatric conditions, but we mostly lack a mechanistic understanding of the causal and dynamical links between genetically determined neuronal properties, their implications for cortical network dynamics, and their impact in turn on behavior and cognition. However, such knowledge would be of tremendous clinical relevance.
