Description
The research group “Clinical Neuroscience of Mood Disorders” focuses on the aim of gaining a better understanding of the genesis, function and clinical relevance of mood and emotional dysregulation in childhood and adolescence.
Although affective disorders are among the most severe and prevalent disorders worldwide, the genesis and function of mood and its changes are still largely unexplained. Emotional dysregulation is a transdiagnostic concept that is highly relevant to many disorders in childhood and adolescence. Mood changes and emotional dysregulation play an essential role not only in the context of affective disorders in childhood and adolescence, but also, for example, in hyperkinetic disorders, schizophrenic disorders or personality disorders. For those affected, other associated disorders also represent an additional burden.
In addition to the question of the genesis and definition of mood, our research group also focuses on the investigation of mood characteristics and emotional dysregulation as well as on the optimisation of existing and the development of new therapy concepts. To this aim, we use state-of-the-art methods such as neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI, MEG), computational methods as well as epidemiological and clinical trials.
