Another research focus, in close cooperation with the Institute of Neurogenetics, is systems research in genetically determined neurological / neurogenetic diseases. Numerous preliminary studies on this topic enabled us, together with Prof Klein, to participate in the Collaborative Research Centre SFB 936 ‘Multi-Site Communication in the Brain’ with a project in each of the three funding periods:

• Connectivity and plasticity in cortical motor networks in Parkin gene associated parkinsonism and dopa responsive dystonia (2011-2015)
• Modulation of the action selection and error processing networks in genetic parkinsonism using rTMS and DBS (2015-2019)
• Characterization of action control networks in genetically determined parkinsonism (2019-2023).
