"The LIN stands for top-class basic research in animal experiments, including the regulation of memory and motivation. This is an excellent basis for the development of deep brain stimulation procedures for dementia. The close networking of top-level animal, MRI-anatomical and clinical research as well as the integration of the projects into the DFG Collaborative Research Center and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) means that the Magdeburg site offers unparalleled opportunities for transnational research in neuromodulation throughout Europe."
