Roland Zahn
King’s College London
Social cognition | Moral | Emotion | Semantics | Major Neurocognitive Disorder | Depression | Bipolar | Neuropsychiatry
Roland Zahn is a Professor of Mood Disorders & Cognitive Neuroscience at King’s College London. His research focuses on the neural and cognitive mechanisms of the conceptual self and the neurocognitive architecture of social knowledge and blame in organic and non-organic mood disorders. By combining translational cognitive neuroscience and precision psychiatry, his work aims to advance our understanding of mood disorders as well as to develop personalized interventions and neurocognitive treatments based on these insights.
