Peter zu Eulenburg is a Professor and Research Group Leader at the Institute for Neuroradiology and the German Vertigo Center, University Hospital of LMU Munich. He is a full member of the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences (GSN) and a regular member of the Munich Center for Neurosciences (MCN), where he leads research in functional neuroimaging and vestibular neuroscience. His research focuses on the cartography of the human vestibular and ocular motor systems using structural and functional neuroimaging techniques. Key areas include self-motion perception, egocentric referencing, and the structural effects of spaceflight and microgravity on the brain and eye. He employs advanced methods such as deep-learning assisted video-oculography and blood-based brain biomarkers. The selected publications highlight a strong trend in space neuroscience and neuroplasticity, particularly in how long-duration spaceflight alters brain structure and ventricular volume. His work also explores visual-vestibular integration and central compensation mechanisms in vestibular disorders using fMRI and meta-analytic approaches. Scientific Contributions: Shared senior authorship in high-impact studies on cosmonaut brain changes published in NEJM and PNAS Pioneering meta-analytical mapping of the human vestibular cortex Investigation of inner ear and ocular structural segmentation He advises several PhD students, including Ge Tang, Berk Olcay, Theresa Raiser, Juditha Huber, and Pauline Popp. His research is supported by institutional affiliations with LMU Munich’s neuroimaging and vertigo research units, contributing to both clinical and space medicine advancements. He leads a research team focused on multimodal imaging at the German Vertigo Center, integrating clinical neurology with advanced computational and imaging techniques to study sensorimotor integration and neuroadaptation.
