Natalia Chechko’s research group investigates neuroscientific and bioscientific
aspects of various psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia,
anxiety disorders and autism spectrum disorder. Cerebral dysfunctions in women
of reproductive age who suffer from affective disorders, e.g. postpartum
depression, psychosomatic illnesses or chronic pain disorders, are a particular
focus. The aim is to record emotional and cognitive dysfunctions multimodally in
order to enable early detection and predict the response to therapy in affected
women. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is used to analyse cerebral
dysfunctions during visual, olfactory and nociceptive stimulation. Psychological
test procedures and laboratory measurement techniques, such as blood serum
analyses and hair sample analyses, are also used. Other influencing factors such
as genetic disposition are also taken into account.
