Andreas Horn

Horn studied medicine at University of Freiburg and received his MD in 2012. He then pursued a PhD in Medical Neurosciences at Charité Berlin which he completed in 2016. After working in several postdoctoral roles, he was enrolled into the Emmy Noether Program by the German Research Foundation and started a laboratory at Charité in 2018. In 2022, he became Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and affiliated with Brigham and Women's and Massachusetts General Hospital. In 2025, he founded the Network Stimulation Institute at the University of Cologne.

Horn is known for his work in brain circuit mapping and neuromodulation. He developed methods to localize deep brain stimulation electrodes and to estimate networks stimulated by them. His research has also explored how brain stimulation sites and lesions correlate with specific brain circuits, providing insights into various neurological and psychiatric conditions such as Parkinson’s disease,{{Cite journal |last1=Sobesky |first1=Leon |last2=Goede |first2=Lukas |last3=Odekerken |first3=Vincent J J |last4=Wang |first4=Qiang |last5=Li |first5=Ningfei |last6=Neudorfer |first6=Clemens |last7=Rajamani |first7=Nanditha |last8=Al-Fatly |first8=Bassam |last9=Reich |first9=Martin |last10=Volkmann |first10=Jens |last11=de Bie |first11=Rob M A |last12=Kühn |first12=Andrea A |last13=Horn |first13=Andreas |date=2022-03-29 |title=Subthalamic and pallidal deep brain stimulation: are we modulating the same network? |url=https://academic.oup.com/brain/article/145/1/251/6359209 |journal=Brain |language=en |volume=145 |issue=1 |pages=251–262 |doi=10.1093/brain/awab258 |pmid=34453827 |issn=0006-8950}} obsessive-compulsive-disorder,{{Cite journal |last1=Li |first1=Ningfei |last2=Baldermann |first2=Juan Carlos |last3=Kibleur |first3=Astrid |last4=Treu |first4=Svenja |last5=Akram |first5=Harith |last6=Elias |first6=Gavin J.
