D
r. Fernando Gomez-Pinilla – Depts. of Neurosurgery, and Integrative Biology and Physiology, University of California Los Angeles, USA
Dr. Fernando Gomez-Pinilla is Professor of Physiological Science. His research goal is to investigate the molecular mechanisms of neuronal adaptation to insult, disease, and environmental factors by focusing on the action of neurotrophic factors as major effectors of neuronal growth and survival, synaptic function, ultimately resulting in behavioral manifestations. His laboratory uses a multidisciplinary approach ranging from gene expression to behavioral techniques, and involving the brain and spinal cord of animals and humans. His work is widely published, including elite publications such as Nature magazine.
Dr
. Henning Budde – Medical School Hamburg, University of Applied Sciences and Medical University, Germany
Research interest of Dr. Henning Budde is the field of exercise neuroscience. He is dealing with the effects of exercise on the brain and how the brain induced movements. As a teacher he is interested how these findings can be implemented in school settings. He has published over 70 articles in peer reviewed journals. Some of these articles are communicated as “most cited articles” (e.g. in Neuroscience Letters).
