Overview

Herbert Schwegler is affiliated with Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg in Germany and focuses their research primarily in the field of neuroscience. Their work spans multiple subfields including cellular and molecular neuroscience, biological psychiatry, behavioral neuroscience, surgery, and nature and landscape conservation.

Their research encompasses a range of topics related to neuropharmacology and brain function, particularly addressing stress responses, tryptophan metabolism in brain disorders, and biomedical chemical research. Additionally, they have contributed to studies in fish biology and ecology, with a focus on reproductive biology and the impacts on aquatic species.

Schwegler has published several papers in various scientific venues. Notable recent publications include:

  • "Glutamic acid decarboxylase 67 haplodeficiency in mice: consequences of postweaning social isolation on behavior and changes in brain neurochemical systems," 2020, Brain Structure and Function
  • "SONDERFORSCHUNGSBEREICH 426 "LIMBISCHE STRUKTUREN UND FUNKTIONEN" IM ZENTRUM DES GEHIRNS," 2020, Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg
  • "First report of ictavirus acipenseridallo2 (AciHV-2) in Danube sturgeons Acipenser gueldenstaedtii in Austria," 2024, Diseases of Aquatic Organisms
  • "Trouble in the Tank: A Case Report of Fatal Scuticociliate Encephalitis in a Whitetip Reef Shark (Triaenodon obesus)," 2025, Journal of Fish Diseases

Their frequent coauthors include Karoline Lipnik, Astrid S. Holzer, Eva Lewisch, Sven Nullmeier, and Christoph Elmers.
