Life

Juckel studied philosophy (1981–1986) and human medicine (1986–1995) at the Free University and the Humboldt University in Berlin . Following his doctorate at the Psychiatric Clinic of the Free University of Berlin on the topic of acoustic evoked potentials in patients with affective disorders taking fluvoxamine , light therapy and lithium , he went to the Department of Psychophysiology of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest for a one-year research stay . Juckel completed his training as a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy from 1995 to 2002 at the Psychiatric Clinic of the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . In 1997/1998 he conducted research at the Department of Psychology (Program of Neuroscience) at Princeton University (New Jersey, USA). He completed his habilitation in 2003 at the LMU Munich on the subject of the volume dependence of acoustically evoked potentials as an indicator of the central serotonergic system - investigations in animal models as well as on psychiatric patients and healthy test subjects . From 2002 to 2005 Juckel was Deputy Senior Consultant at the Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Charité in Berlin.

Since 2005 Juckel has been Professor of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Ruhr University and Medical Director of the LWL University Hospital in Bochum as well as Director of the Clinic for Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Preventive Medicine. Since 2006 he has also been chairman of the LWL Institute for Prevention and Health Services Research.

Scientific contribution

For years, Juckel has been researching the establishment of a neurophysiological parameter (volume dependency of acoustic evoked potentials) as an indicator of the synaptic serotonin released in the brain for psychiatric and psychopharmacological issues, both fundamentally in animal models and clinically on patients. This was followed by investigations using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on the mesolimbic dopaminergic meaning and reward system, especially in patients with schizophrenia and the effects of various neuroleptics . In Bochum, Juckel is concentrating on the inflammatory animal model of schizophrenia (PolyI: C), which he and others have well-validated, and examined above all the function of the activated microglia and their consequences on the neuronal substrate within the framework of the brain development hypothesis of schizophrenia. Above all in and with the LWL Institute for Health Care and Prevention Research, Juckel developed a series of studies on practical aspects of care and treatment in psychiatry, such as the genetics of schizophrenic types , occupational and movement therapy and recovery support, but also on coercive measures and their reduction.
