Discovery: @mpi-psychiatry.bsky.social & @uni-muenster.de researchers found that synaptic impairment can predict cognitive schizophrenia symptoms. These findings could lead to development of more targeted treatments: bit.ly/4uFddjC

Thanks for sharing our research! 🥳

Der Autor & Puppenspieler Nikolaus Habjan @nikolaushabjan.bsky.social zeichnet darin die Lebensgeschichte von Friedrich Zawrel (1929-2015) nach, der als Kind das „Euthanasie“-Programm der Nationalsozialisten in Wien überlebte. Als Erwachsener steht er seinem Peiniger Heinrich Gross erneut gegenüber.

Für das Max-Planck-Institut für Psychiatrie @mpi-psychiatry.bsky.social ist es wichtig, immer wieder an die eigene, schwierige Geschichte zu erinnern. Wissenschaftler und Ärzte haben sich damals schuldig gemacht und wissentlich an Gehirn-Präparaten von ermordeten „Euthanasie“-Opfern geforscht.

Tickets für die Vorstellung „F. Zawrel – erbbiologisch und sozial minderwertig“ am 28.5. um 19 Uhr gibt es auf der Webseite des Theaters ➡️ tickets.muenchenticket.de/shop/240 @nikolaushabjan.bsky.social @mpi-psychiatry.bsky.social

Das Max-Planck-Institut für Psychiatrie bringt am 28.5. das mehrfach ausgezeichnete Puppentheater „F. Zawrel – erbbiologisch und sozial minderwertig“ von Nikolaus Habjan im Kleinen Theater Haar bei #München auf die Bühne. Die Vorstellung findet in Kooperation mit dem kbo-Isar-Amper-Klinikum statt.
