Uwe Windhorst is a German neuroscientist, systems scientist and cyberneticist, who was born in Bremen, Germany in 1946.
Related issues were the plastic properties of such networks and their modulation by signals arising in the peripheral and central nervous system, specifically in the context of muscle fatigue.
A related aspect of research concerned the origin of muscle pain and its effects on spinal neurons.
In addition to experimental studies, computer modeling was used to unravel the properties of small neuronal networks, especially with respect to tremor.
Between 1968 and 1974, he studied medicine at the University of Göttingen in Germany, where he also earned his PhD and his Habilitation in Neurophysiology.
