Dr. Maraike Coenen is a researcher affiliated with the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the University of Groningen, specifically within the Cognition, Ageing and Disease (CAD) department. Her work focuses on neurological disorders such as dystonia and ataxia, with a particular emphasis on cognitive aspects like social cognition and behavioral problems in conditions like Huntington’s disease. She has published extensively on topics including deep brain stimulation, neuropsychological assessments, and cross-sectional studies in pediatric populations.
Her academic contributions include a thesis titled *It's all in the network: Cognition in Dystonia and Ataxia across the Lifespan* (2024), which explores cognitive changes across developmental stages in these disorders. Recent articles highlight her research into impaired social cognition in Huntington’s disease and cognitive profiles in early-onset dystonia/ataxia cases.
Coenen is actively engaged in academic activities, including speaking at conferences like the Global Neuropsychology Congress (2024) and participating in professional networks such as Huntington KennisNet Nederland. Her work bridges clinical neuroscience and behavioral research, contributing to understanding neurocognitive interdependencies in movement disorders.
