Notger Müller

Prof. Dr. Notger Müller serves as W3-Professor for Degenerative and Chronic Diseases, Movement at the University of Potsdam's Faculty for Health Sciences within the Joint Faculty (comprising University of Potsdam, Brandenburg Medical School Theodor Fontane, and Brandenburg University of Technology). His position integrates clinical neurology with movement science research across multiple institutions.

His research spans five interconnected domains:

• Personalized prevention programs maintaining cognitive function through physical activity
• Neuroplasticity mechanisms via combined physical/mental activity
• Early neurodegenerative disease diagnosis using novel biomarkers
• Neurophysiological correlates of attention and working memory
• Rehabilitation through non-invasive brain stimulation and virtual reality

His methodological approach integrates:

• Functional neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG/MEG)
• Behavioral testing under dual-task conditions
• Pharmacological challenges
• Advanced movement analysis
• Non-invasive brain stimulation protocols

Key recognitions include:

• Theo and Friedl Schöller-Price for Medicine of Old Age (2017)

His clinical-academic career bridges memory clinic leadership with fundamental neuroscience research, maintaining continuous NIH/DFG-level funding through collaborations with physiology departments, neuroradiology units, and sports science institutes. The research group actively develops intervention protocols combining physical activity with neurotechnology for cognitive preservation.

Based at the H-Lab (Building 62, Room 204) on Potsdam's Golm Campus, the group maintains strong translational connections between university hospitals and community health initiatives.
