Julian Koenig is a German neuroscientist who is tenured associated professor of biological child and adolescent psychiatry[1] at University of Cologne. Koenig is co-editor of European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry,[2] affiliate editor of the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, and consulting editor of Psychophysiology.

Research

[edit]

His area of scientific expertise is child and adolescent psychiatry with a focus on autonomic neuroscience, combining neuroimaging and psychophysiology, to study brain-body interactions.[3]

In his early career, Koenig conducted studies in experimental pain research.[4][5] Focusing on psychiatric populations, he studied differences in pain sensitivity in patients engaging in self-injury,[6] and the underlying biological mechanisms.[7]

His work in experimental psychopathology illustrates the importance of autonomic nervous system function in normative and pathological development during childhood and adolescence,[3] with an emphasis on the detrimental effects of early adversity.[8] Koenig mainly studies adolescents with borderline personality disorder[9] and depression[10] engaging in non-suicidal self-injury.[11]

He published a series of systematic reviews and meta-analysis on parasympathetic activity in schizophrenia,[12] borderline personality disorder,[9] bulimia nervosa,[13][14] and depression.[10]

Focusing on clinical translation, he has published research on non-invasive neuromodulation, in particular transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS),[15][16] in children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders, and has led international efforts to develop minimal reporting standards in tVNS research.[17]

Education

[edit]

Koenig earned his doctor scientiarum humanarum in medicine from Heidelberg University in 2013.[18] He received the venia legendi for experimental child and adolescent psychiatry from Heidelberg University in 2019.[19] He completed his post-doctoral training at Ohio State University and the University of Bern in Switzerland.
