Andreas Böhringer

Dr. Andreas Böhringer is a researcher and senior physician (Oberarzt) specializing in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Central Institute of Mental Health (ZI) in Mannheim, Germany. Holding a doctorate in natural sciences (Dr. rer. nat.) and a Diplom in Psychology, his work bridges clinical practice and neuroscience research through high-impact publications since 2006.

His research focuses on neural mechanisms of psychiatric disorders, particularly depression. Utilizing fMRI and clinical trials, he investigates stress physiology, social evaluative threat, and neuromodulation techniques including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), ketamine, and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Key contributions examine reward anticipation pathways, cortisol responses, and treatment efficacy for mood disorders.

Recent publications (2015-2022) reveal a translational neuroscience approach integrating neuroimaging with clinical psychiatry. Dominant themes include depression treatment optimization through neuromodulation, neural correlates of social stress, and psychopharmacological interventions targeting reward circuitry. His collaborative work spans multiple interdisciplinary teams within the ZI research ecosystem.
