Lanzenberger, Rupert

Department: Division of General Psychiatry
Head: Lanzenberger, Rupert, Univ.-Prof. Priv.-Doz. Dr.med.

Research Area:
Molecular Psychiatry, Neuroimaging (Positron Emission Tomography, Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging), Neuropsychopharmacology


Description:

The integration of functional, structural and molecular neuroimaging expertise plays a pivotal role in clinical neurosciences and supports the assessment of changes and alterations in the diseased and healthy human brain in vivo. Hence, our main research areas comprise multimodal neuroimaging using PET, PET/MR, structural and functional MRI as well as connectivity assessments in both psychiatric and neurological patients and healthy subjects. This extends to neuroimaging in psychopharmacology, psychoneuroendocrinology including gender medicine, cognitive neuroscience, imaging genetics (genotyping/GWAS, epigenetics/EWAS, gene expression) and experimental neuronuclear medicine. Currently, we are focused on research within the monoaminergic neurotransmitter systems and are investigating pharmacological effects on the serotonin and norepinephrin transporters, the main serotonergic receptor subtypes, and enzymes such as monoamine oxidase A, and task-specific brain activation. New methodological advancements in multimodal neuroimaging combining pharmacological MRI (phMRI) and PET further allow for the evaluation of drug effects in the brain of healthy subjects and patients. Hence, the combination of molecular and functional imaging data may reveal novel information regarding relationship between neurochemical, structural and functional alterations in psychiatric and neurological disorders.
