Biography

Nouchine Hadjikhani is a Professor of Experimental Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Gothenburg. She has made significant contributions in the field of autism and migraine, with a focus on understanding the neural underpinnings of these conditions. Hadjikhani's research includes studying the imbalance in the brain's excitatory and inhibitory systems, particularly in conditions such as autism and migraine. Her work has documented how individuals with autism retain intact affective empathy and debunked the theory of deficits in face recognition areas in their brains. She has received numerous awards for her research, including the Leenaards Award in 2010 and the Niclas Öberg Life Watch Award in 2016. Hadjikhani has authored more than 130 peer-reviewed articles across various specialized journals.
