Anders Rasmussen

Anders Rasmussen is an Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer at Lund University, specializing in neurophysiology and cognitive science. He leads research on cerebellar functions, associative learning, and neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and ASD. His work integrates learning theory, behavioral neuroscience, and in-vivo neurophysiology to understand skill acquisition and brain mechanisms. He holds roles as a Research Team Manager and journal editor, and has supervised multiple academic projects and students.

Research Interests: His primary focus is on cerebellar neurophysiology, particularly Purkinje cells, classical conditioning, and the role of the cerebellum in psychiatric conditions. He explores sensorimotor functions, visuospatial abilities, and neurocognitive deficits in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Key Projects: He leads projects like 'Cerebellar neurophysiology in a translational perspective' and 'Cerebellar involvement in ADHD and autism.' These investigate cerebellar dysfunction links to psychiatric features and neurocognitive impairments.

Awards: Recognitions include Editor roles for Discover Neuroscience, Cor-märkt award, and peer-review excellence certificates from Experimental Brain Research and Neuroscience Letters.

Grants & Supervision: He secured funding from foundations like the Crafoord Foundation and has supervised BSc, MSc, and high-school research projects. His activities include organizing conferences and serving on peer review panels.
