Deutsches Zentrum Fuer Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen e.V.

Neurodegenerative disease and motor neuron disorders

Research activity includes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and related neurodegenerative conditions affecting disease progression and symptom burden.

  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
  • Motor neuron disease
  • Symptom progression

Clinical interest extends to immune-modulating and disease-modifying strategies for progressive neurologic decline.

Dementia and cognitive impairment

The sponsor is active across multiple forms of dementia, including Alzheimer disease, autoimmune dementia, and other cognitive syndromes with early, late, or unspecified onset.

  • Alzheimer disease dementia
  • Autoimmune dementia
  • Cognitive impairment

Its portfolio also covers atypical, mixed, and disorder-specific dementia presentations linked to underlying neurologic disease.

Vascular and mixed dementia

Several studies focus on vascular dementia subtypes, including multi-infarct dementia, subcortical vascular dementia, and mixed cortical-subcortical forms.

  • Vascular dementia
  • Multi-infarct dementia
  • Subcortical vascular dementia

These areas reflect interest in cognitive disorders associated with cerebrovascular injury and overlapping neurodegenerative pathology.

Research also spans dementia linked to Huntington disease, Parkinson disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Pick disease, and HIV-associated dementia.

  • Huntington disease dementia
  • Parkinson disease dementia
  • Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease dementia

These topics indicate involvement in cognitive complications arising from protein aggregation, prion disease, and chronic immune or infectious neurologic conditions.

Neuroimaging and diagnostic assessment

One area of interest is amyloid PET imaging in the diagnostic work-up of dementia, with attention to morbidity and care-related outcomes.

  • Amyloid PET
  • Dementia diagnostics
  • Care-related outcomes

This aligns with a broader focus on improving identification of Alzheimer-related pathology and other causes of cognitive decline.
