Neurodevelopment and Vulnerability of the Central Nervous System
Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany
The Neurodevelopment and Vulnerability of the Central Nervous System RTG at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) aims to advance prevention and treatment strategies for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases in adulthood by elucidating underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The program emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration between basic and clinical neuroscientists to explore how neurodevelopment influences individual susceptibility to neurological disorders later in life, fostering innovative research and training for the next generation of neuroscientists.
