David Riedel

David Riedel is a Researcher at the Institute of Movement and Neurosciences, German Sport University Cologne. His work focuses on cognitive aging mechanisms, white matter integrity, and the effects of physical activity on brain function. He holds a PhD in sport science and has conducted extensive research on interhemispheric communication in older adults.

Education: Previously completed a PhD program at the same institution. Research projects include investigating the transfer of cognitive training gains in aging populations, funded by third-party grants (2015-2019).

Research Interests: Explores how physical activity and fitness levels influence brain connectivity, particularly in the corpus callosum. His work combines neuroimaging techniques like diffusion tensor imaging with behavioral assessments to understand age-related cognitive changes.

Awards: Received the 2019 Frontiers in Human Neuroscience Poster Award for outstanding research contributions. Media engagements include multiple articles discussing the role of exercise in maintaining cognitive health.

Labs/Teams: Collaborates with跨学科 teams including neuroimaging experts and geriatric researchers. Current focus areas include cognitive training interventions and biomarkers for healthy aging.
