SWR Wissen - Wie Hormone uns steuern
Dr Stephanie Hirschbichler, MSc PhD reports on results of her project: "The effect of dopamine on motor and cognitive control"
A recent episode of the SWR Wissen series focussed on the power of hormones. The programme "How hormones control us" deals with the influence of hormones and their fluctuations on our everyday lives and actions. Among other things, Parkinson's disease and depression are discussed. Dr Stephanie Hirschbichler, PhD from the Clinical Division of Neurology at St. Pölten University Hospital explains how dopamine can influence people's willingness to take risks. In order to be able to combine her research work on the question of what makes people willing to take risks with her work as a doctor, she is carrying out research as part of a research time out (RTO) which is a measurement of the KL´s Forschungsimpulse programme.
