Dr. Meyer-Lindenberg is Chief of the Unit for Systems Neuroscience in Psychiatry and Co-Director of the Imaging Core Facility of the Genes, Cognition and Psychosis program. A German national, he studied medicine at Bonn (Germany) and Cornell University and did residencies in psychiatry and psychotherapy in Giessen (Germany) and in neurology in Bonn. He received his M.D. in 1991 and his Ph.D. (Habilitation) in 1999. He is board certified in psychiatry, psychotherapy and neurology. He also holds a Master's degree in pure and applied mathematics from the University of Hagen (Germany).

Epidemiologically valid longitudinal study of brain function and structure related to genetic variation and environmental influences. |
Interacting genetic variation in multiple risk genes impacts on functional brain circuits important for functions such as working memory, episodic memory, regulation of emotion and social cognition, forming the mechanism translating genetic effects into risk for schizophrenia. |
An exhaustive enumeration of risk genes for schizophrenia demonstated to converge functionally on a limited set of neural mechanisms in human brain in vivo. |
I don't think one will be necessary in the next two decades. |
