⚡Meet the Team, pt. 6⚡

How do symptoms of affective disorders change over time – and what drives this change?
Within SFB/TRR 393, our 24 projects investigate the cognitive, emotional, and neurobiological mechanisms behind symptom dynamics.

The NAE study is our longest-running project — & one of a kind.🧠💡
Since 2009, we've followed patients with MDD & BD for up to 14 years.
We combine repeated MRI scans & deep phenotyping.
This rare longitudinal design lets us explore how brain changes might (not) cause affective disorders over time.

PhDs unite!
The TraP-PhDs gathered for their #Stammtisch to chat all things research, work-life balance—and cookie recipes 🍪🧪

There’s no “I” in PhD… or something like that 😄

The ReFiNe-MDD team tackles the replication crisis!
We aim to conduct 60 replications in neuroimaging to
- estimate the replicability rate
- identify predictors of replicability
- derive guidelines to enhance replicability!
