Honorary doctorate for member of the Bernstein Center Freiburg: For his important contributions to the field of neuroanatomy, the Goethe University Frankfurt bestowed an honorary degree upon Prof. Michael Frotscher.
02.06.2010: Prof. Frotscher is the head of the Department of Neuroanatomy in the Institute of Anatomy and Principal Investigator in two projects of the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience at the University of Freiburg. Internationally, Frotscher enjoys a high reputation in the field of neurobiology. His scientific research added greatly to our understanding about processes of stratification in the hippocampus and the cortex of the vertebrate brain. More specifically, Prof. Frotscher investigates the role of reelin, a protein that helps regulating processes of neuronal migration and positioning in the developing brain.
In recognition of his contributions to the field, the Goethe University Frankfurt awarded Prof. Frotscher with a honorary doctorate.
Prof. Frotscher is a Principal Investigator in the BCCN projects:
A5: Structure-function analysis using statistical relational learning and link mining and
C1: Experimentally induced granule cell dispersion as a model of pathological neuronal network dynamics
