About

Moritz Dannhauer is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of non-invasive brain stimulation and cognitive neuroscience, with a particular focus on understanding and enhancing working memory in aging populations. His key research areas include transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), specifically repetitive TMS (rTMS), and its site-specific effects on cognitive function. Dannhauer’s major contribution is demonstrating that online rTMS can be precisely targeted to modulate working memory manipulation processes in healthy older adults, a critical finding given that this cognitive function declines rapidly with age. His 2019 study on this topic, which has garnered 5 citations, provides foundational evidence for using rTMS to potentially extend cognitive health-span. By investigating the neural mechanisms underlying working memory, Dannhauer’s work bridges the gap between basic neuroscience and translational applications, offering promising avenues for non-pharmacological interventions to combat age-related cognitive decline. His research is particularly notable for its methodological rigor in examining site-specific effects, which is essential for developing effective, personalized brain stimulation protocols.
