Additional topics include transcranial magnetic stimulation studies, long-term effects of COVID-19, functional brain connectivity studies, COVID-19 and mental health, and behavioral and psychological studies.

Among recent publications, notable papers include:

  • "A unified connectomic target for deep brain stimulation in obsessive-compulsive disorder" (2020, Nature Communications)
  • "Connectomic Deep Brain Stimulation for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" (2021, Biological Psychiatry)
  • "A Unified Functional Network Target for Deep Brain Stimulation in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" (2021, Biological Psychiatry)
  • "Structural connectivity predicts clinical outcomes of deep brain stimulation for Tourette syndrome" (2020, Brain)
  • "Deep brain stimulation for obsessive-compulsive disorder: a crisis of access" (2022, Nature Medicine)

Frequent coauthors who have collaborated extensively with Kuhn include Juan Carlos Baldermann, Veerle Visser-Vandewalle, Daniel Huys, Thomas Schüller, and Udo Bonnet.

Jens Kuhn has published primarily in venues such as Fortschritte der Neurologie · Psychiatrie, Biological Psychiatry, Brain, Pharmacopsychiatry, and Nervenheilkunde.
