😩 third migration, but feeling finally home on #Neuromatch server 🥳 #reintroduction

Why neuroenergetics is 🤙 brain stuff?

In my lab, we study the #neuroenergetics of the human connectome with multiscale brain imaging.

We have so many unsolved questions 😳:
How is energy distributed across the cortex and spent on higher cognitive functions? What are most expensive signaling pathways and mechanisms?

My lab is split between FAU and TUM (two best ranked German universities in case u didn‘t know yet 😅) and we use the following neuroimaging methods:

- functional and quantitative imaging on 7T MRI at FAU
- quantitative, molecular imaging on an integrated PET/MRI-scanner at TUM

The group at TUM is funded by an ERC-grant and i will start a new lab as Full Professor for multiscale neuroimaging at FAU in 2023.
