| Update: Tobias Waechter visited the Brain Science Center in 2006 and 2008 to continue his work with Dr. Ashe's team in reinforcement learning in healthy subjects and movement execution in Parkinson’s patients. He has since returned to his native Germany to continue his residency in neurology and his research work at the Hertie Institute and Department of Neurology at the University of Tuebingen. Back in Germany, Tobias performs clinical work with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorder patients, His research projects there involve the neural basis of tremor and reinforcement learning in stroke patients. Waechter came to the United States as a medical student in 1999 to do an internship at the University of Minnesota’s Department of Neurology. He returned to Leipzig, Germany to finish medical school at the Max-Plauck-Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. He came back to Minneapolis in June of 2002 where he spent two years as a post-doctoral associate at the Brain Sciences Center and University of Minnesota departments of Neuroscience and Neurology. |
