The group of Prof. Dr. Rüdiger W. Veh is broadly active in the field of neuroanatomy and neurocytochemistry with the following major areas:

• Regional, subregional, cellular, and subcellular analysis of emotion-related brain areas emphasizing the mammalian habenular complexes
• Regional, cellular, and subcellular analysis of the distribution of ion channels in the mammalian brain
• Role of the polyamine system (spermine, spermidine, agmatine) in the mammalian and human brain
• Analysis of autoimmune processes among patients with NMDA receptor encephalitis and other neurological disorders

The major aim of Prof. Dr. Veh´s group is to deduce potential biological functions and dysfunctions from the morphological and chemical organization of neuronal entities.
