Photo: Swen Reichhold - How language networks and networks for cognitive support functions interact, for example, is what Gesa Hartwigsen is researching using imaging and neurostimulation. Since November 2022, she has been Professor of Cognitive including Biological Psychology at the Wilhelm Wundt Institute of Psychology in the Faculty of Life Sciences. In the area of teaching, she would like to pass on her enthusiasm for basic scientific findings, among other things. What did you study - and what stations led you to the University of Leipzig? I studied psychology in Kiel and did my doctorate there at the University Hospital from 2007 to 2010. Afterwards, I came to Leipzig University Hospital for a postdoctoral stay in Dorothee Saur's research group. In 2013, I was appointed to the junior professorship in Biological Psychology in Kiel. In 2015, I moved to the Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig to the department of Neuropsychology of Angela D. Friederici. I led the research group -Modulation of Language Networks- there until 2019. In 2019, I was appointed to an independent research group leader position under the Lise-Meitner Excellence Program of the Max Planck Society. This was followed by a call to the University of Leipzig in 2022. What are your research interests, what fascinates you about it?
