Meeting with Ted Abel in #Paris: Discussions on translating fundamental neurobiological research into clinical practice in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. From bed to bench and back — so that our findings can truly make a difference: for our patients.

Zusammen mit Prof Emrah Düzel vom #DZNE durfte ich in der Mitteldeutschen Zeitung unser neues Zentrum für #Hirngesundheit an der #UMMD vorstellen. Auch im Bereich Brain Health brauchen wir eine Vorsorgekultur, wie sie etwa in der Krebsvorsorge bereits selbstverständlich ist.

"In a healthy brain, forgetting is an active process that contributes to mental well-being…!” I had the opportunity to discuss this topic on the German program “Quarks“. A link to the podcast (titled “Ketamine – Parking – Doping”) can be found below. https://t.co/e4kv1XsnK7

Alcohol consumption is known to increase during the holiday season. Abstaining from alcohol during the so-called ‘Dry January’ is intended to help restore balance. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to give an interview on this topic to MDR. Many thanks to everyone involved!
