Anne Bierbrauer

Anne Bierbrauer is a Researcher at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and the Institute of Systems Neuroscience within the Center for Experimental Medicine. Her work focuses on understanding memory processes, stress effects on cognition, and spatial navigation deficits in neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. She collaborates with interdisciplinary teams to investigate neural mechanisms underpinning memory traces and cognitive impairments.

Her research employs advanced neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques to study stress-related memory formation, path integration deficits, and hippocampal theta phase dynamics. Key projects include examining how acute and chronic stress impact spatial navigation and how Alzheimer’s risk carriers exhibit distinct cognitive vulnerabilities.

Publications span topics such as memory trace representation, stress physiology, and neurodegenerative biomarkers. Her work contributes to translational neuroscience, bridging basic research and clinical applications.
