Those affected, usually young adults, experience psychoses such as hallucinations, epileptic seizures and clouding of consciousness leading to coma. In the research group
As part of this year's Long Night of Science, we would like to invite you to get to know our SYNABS team in Jena and the research projects being carried out at the University Hospital. Observe neurons under the stereomicroscope and gain insights into the research work.
At the poster we will show you how the group coordinated at Jena University Hospital is searching for mechanistic pathways and new therapeutic approaches.
