Ulla Mitzdorf

She contributed to diverse areas including physics, chemistry, psychology, physiology, medicine and gender studies.

Mitzdorf gained her doctorate in theoretical chemistry in 1974 at the Technical University of Munich.

In 1983 she habilitated in physiology,[3] and in 1984 in medical psychology and neurobiology at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.

Ulla Mitzdorf significantly contributed to the understanding of local field potentials (LFPs) in the central nervous system.

By implementing the technique of current source density (CSD)[4] she provided additional evidence for the theory that cortical LFPs result from the synaptic activity[4] in the brain.
