FORTH

The 25th edition of Heidelberg University’s research magazine

3/13/2025 Is there a way for the USA to over­come its political and societal divide? How do so-called for­ward and back­ward models aid climate re­search? What role do patho­logi­cally altered neural circuits — crucial for reward learning and memory — play in addiction relapse?

These and other topics are explored by scientists from Heidelberg University in the 25th edition of the research magazine Ruperto Carola. Our editorial design ensures each contri­bution receives maximum atten­tion within the thematic frame­work of BACK & FORTH, which lies at the heart of this issue.
