Jens Midtgaard serves as a Guest Researcher within the Motor Control group at the Department of Neuroscience, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. His work centers on applying ultrastructural analysis and electron microscopy to investigate neurological disorders and brain anatomy, with emphasis on obsessive-compulsive disorder and schizophrenia pathways.
Research interests span Neuroscience, Ultrastructural Analysis, Electron Microscopy, Neuropathology, Motor Control, and Pineal Gland Research. His methodology leverages volume electron microscopy and serial block face scanning to dissect neural tissue architecture at subcellular resolution in both healthy and pathological states.
Analysis of recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a dominant focus on mouse models of psychiatric disorders, particularly examining striatal ultrastructural changes in Slitrk5-/- mice for OCD and CRMP2 knockout effects on corpus callosum axons in schizophrenia models. Additional research explores pinealocyte secretory mechanisms and extends into clinical obstetrics through collaboration on maternity care interventions.
Dr. Midtgaard maintains active affiliation with the Nielsen Lab at the University of Copenhagen, a specialized research unit dedicated to advanced neuroanatomical imaging using cutting-edge microscopy platforms for structural neuroscience investigations.
