The Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim, Germany, is an
internationally renowned research institute in the field of psychiatry
and neuroscience, home of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy
of the Medical Faculty Mannheim of the University of Heidelberg, and a
psychiatric hospital with 255 inpatient and 52 day-clinic beds.
To strengthen our recently established independent neuroscience research
group funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF),
the Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (Medical Director: Prof. Dr.
