At the Translational Psychiatry Research Unit of the University Hospital of Münster, we investigate the neurobiological foundations of psychiatric diseases with a focus on depression and collect multimodal data before and after therapy procedures such as e.g. MRI recordings of the brain, psychological diagnosis, neuropsychological testing and molecular parameters. The department is located in the Psychological Processes and Targeted Clinical Interventions (TARGET) group of the Institute. In the TARGET laboratory we explicitly investigate neuro-bio-behavioral mechanisms and influencing factors on the success of therapy in emotional disorders. We carry out experimental intervention studies. In our studies we collect behavioral, psychophysiological, neuronal and endocrine data to investigate relevant mechanisms at different levels

The site is located in the area of the special research area TRR393 “Trajectories affective diseases” and the DFG project “Intrusive Social Imagery” (ISI).

The Collaborative Research Centre focuses on the investigation of the trajectories of affective diseases (AD) with the aim of determining the course of relapses and remissions at AD, determining cognitive-emotional mechanisms and neurobiological correctives of acute symptoms and investigating mechanisms based interventions.

The ISI study examines the treatment of social anxiety disorders through targeted interventions for urgent social images. Significant social images are a key process for maintaining social anxiety disorder. The aim is to better understand the emergence and maintenance of social fear and to develop specific, effective treatment approaches.
