Andras Horvath
medical doctor, neuroscientist
"If you want go fast, go alone. If you want go far, go together."
I am a medical doctor being interested in the neural background of cognitive decline. I have a Master of Science in medicine and a PhD from clinical neuroscience. I lead a research group as an assistant professor in the National Brain Research Program Hungary and teach medical underggraduates at Semmelweis University Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embriology. Our current research focuses on the identification of neurophysiological and sleep biomarkers for the early detection of dementia. We also analyze the converging path of epilepsy and neurodegenerative disorders. To reach our aims, we use various techniques including neuropsychology, high-density and long-term electroencephalography, structural and functional neuroimaging methods. When not in the lab, I travel, read and play basketball.
