ReTune funded for second funding period

The German Research Foundation has approved the next funding phase of the CRC/TRR 295 “Retuning dynamic motor network disorders by neuromodulation”, in which researchers from Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Justus-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Würzburg University Hospital, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, the University of Rostock, the University of Potsdam, the Max Planck Institute, the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem are involved.

The transregional collaborative research center (TRR) seeks to improve the understanding of the various symptoms of human movement disorders by elucidating symptom-specific neural activity and developing specific treatment strategies for network modulation in common and clinically-relevant neurological diseases. This includes Parkinsonism, dystonia, and tics, but also gait disorders related to abnormal patterning in cortical-subcortical circuits, including the cortex, basal ganglia, spinal cord, brainstem, or cerebellum.
