JARA-BRAIN scientists have discovered that respiration and brain function correspond more closely with each other than previously believed. The results of their research have been published in the internationally respected journal Nature Communications.
JARA-BRAIN scientist Prof. Dr. Hermann Wagner has become a member of the Academy of Science and Literature in Mainz. The professor of biology at RWTH Aachen University has been named a full member of the mathematical-scientific branch of the academy.
As part of a new start-up project at RWTH Aachen University, JARA-BRAIN junior professor Dr. Martin Schulte-Rüther is investigating the effectiveness of innovative social interaction training in increasing the social competence of individuals with autism.
Patients suffering from brain tumours benefit particularly from state-of-the-art hybrid devices that combine positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These hybrid devices provide information on numerous aspects of the disease in a single examination. This has been shown in a study recently published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
