Kreative Köpfe aus Psychologie und Neurowissenschaft unterhalten das Publikum im Schauspielhaus Bochum mit ihrer Forschung.

Der Doktorand begeistert sich für den Zusammenhang zwischen Körper und Gehirn, zwischen Verhalten und Denken. Sein aufregendstes Forschungsergebnis beinhaltet die genaue Messung des Verhaltens von Tauben und die Entdeckung von unerwartetem Verhalten, das auf Denkprozesse hinweist.

The amygdala is an evolutionarily conserved core structure in emotion processing and one of the key regions of interest in affective neuroscience. In a new review researcher from the biopsychology lab highlighted recent findings on amygdala neuroimaging.

Dreaming has long been considered something that characterises human sleep. However, new findings suggest that pigeons may experience flight scenes during sleep.

Thank you for a successful and inspiring workshop!

The climate crisis has a massive impact on human health and mental health. Our new essential describes how brain structure and function are influenced by changes in the environment and explains the importance of ecological niches for the development of the brain.

Vögel weisen Schlafmuster auf, die denen von Menschen verblüffend ähneln, und träumen möglicherweise vom Fliegen. Wissenschaftler*innen der Ruhr-Universität Bochum und des Max-Planck-Instituts für biologische Intelligenz untersuchten mithilfe der funktionellen Kernspintomographie die Aktivierungsmuster im Gehirn schlafender Tauben.

The objective of the present study was to examine whether acute stress and its accompanying fluctuations in stress hormone levels impact the transfer of information across the corpus callosum.
