Radboud Reflects - Our brain and Evil
Verschillen de hersenen van psychopaten veel van die van de gemiddelde mens? Waarom doen mensen kwaadaardige dingen? Ieder mens is in staat om kwaadaardige dingen te doen, maar de één heeft er minder moeite mee dan de ander. Hoe werkt dat?
-
Optimal Codes for Complex Brains: Constraints and Trade-offs in the Hippocampus and Neocortex
The thesis concludes by discussing the importance of constraints and trade-offs in advancing our understanding of the brain, as well as their impact on the design of advanced cognitive systems in artificial intelligence.
-
Donders Toolkit fMRI
Join us this September for the fMRI Toolkit, an intensive 5-day course designed to provide both a strong foundation and cutting-edge insights into MRI methods used in cognitive neuroscience.
-
Multimorbidity involving psychiatric disorders and insulin resistance: Clinical burden, shared genetic architecture, and mechanistic insights
The PhD defence of G. Fanelli is on 8 September 2025 at 04:30 pm.
-
A navigation of stroke in the young: Exploring risk factors and prognosis
The aim of this thesis is to investigate novel risk factors and prognosis of stroke at young age.
-

Welcome Meeting for new Donderians
Welcome/Introduction meeting for all new employees at the Donders Institute
-
On the role of prediction in visual search
The research shows how our visual system optimally processes complex visual environments by combining attention filtering with unconscious statistical learning, making visual search more efficient in our daily lives.
-
Cox regression in the proportional regime: A statistical mechanics perspective
In this thesis, I adopt the statistical physics approach to optimization in order to obtain an improved asymptotic theory for the Maximum Partial Like-lihood Estimator (MPLE) in the proportional regime, by means of the Replica method.
-
DGS - Graduate School Day
The annual Donders Graduate School Day organised for PhD candidates and CNS students will happen on 18 September 2025, several transferable skills workshops will be provided for individual growth
-
Theme meetings for Donderians
Theme meetings will be organized every third Thursday, every two months, such that all Donderians have the opportunity to join multiple Theme meetings.
-
Crossing the spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorder research: The promise of a multidisciplinary approach
This thesis demonstrates that the same DNA aberration can be present in a healthy parent and their child with typical Snijders Blok-Campeau syndrome. Furthermore, Witteveen-Kolk syndrome can now also be diagnosed based on epigenetics.
-
Brain Charting for Precision Psychiatry
In this thesis, we aim to investigate techniques and create models that can help us map inter-individual variation in neurobiological features and establish risk scores based on individual deviation patterns from a reference population.
-
