Dr. Sabine Oligschläger

Sabine Oligschläger is a postdoctoral researcher at the Hector Research Institute for Education Sciences and Psychology working in the field of developmental neuroscience. She researches how the spatial organization of the cerebral cortex subserves learning and cognition in the human brain.
At the Hector Research Institute, she pursues questions about the mechanisms by which the spatial arrangement of cortical functions may emerge during development, with a focus on ramifications for the cognitive abilities of intellectually gifted children.
