Simone Kühn is Director of the Environmental Neuroscience research area at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development. She investigates how various environmental factors influence the brain and behavior. She has demonstrated that natural environments, such as walks in the forest, reduce stress responses in the brain and enhance cognitive performance. Her work aims to understand the effects of the environment on the brain and to generate insights for urban planning and the prevention of mental illnesses.
