Overview

Jan Raethjen is affiliated with Kiel University in Germany and conducts research primarily in the fields of medicine and neuroscience. Their work focuses on several subfields, including neurology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, rheumatology, physiology, and hematology.

Raethjen's main research topics encompass neurological disorders and treatments, genetic neurodegenerative diseases, mechanisms and treatments related to Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's disease and spinal disorders, glycogen storage diseases and myoclonus, lysosomal storage disorders research, as well as autoimmune and inflammatory disorders research.

Their recent publications include the following papers:

  • "Efficacy and safety of N-acetyl-l-leucine in Niemann-Pick disease type C" (2021, Journal of Neurology)
  • "Evaluation of movement and brain activity" (2021, Clinical Neurophysiology)
  • "Central Pathophysiology and Brain Network Changes Related to Camptocormia in Parkinson's Disease" (2025, Movement Disorders)
  • "Dynamic posturography and posturographic training for Parkinson's disease in a routine clinical setting" (2020, Gait & Posture)
  • "Reply to: Beta Coherence in Camptocormia: Marker of Compensation or Maladaptive Motor Memory?" (2025, Movement Disorders)

Raethjen has published multiple times in several scientific journals, including:

  • Movement Disorders
  • Journal of Neurology
  • Clinical Neurophysiology
  • Gait & Posture
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

The collaborative network of Raethjen includes frequent co-authors such as Jens Volkmann, Muthuraman Muthuraman, Tauqeer Anjum, Günther Deuschl, and Nils G. Margraf, with multiple joint publications in their research areas.
