30 neuroscience professors in Germany, at 21 universities. The most represented are Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Technical University of Munich and Heidelberg University.
The list is built from open publication data (OpenAlex and ORCID), the same data ProfScout uses in the app: actively publishing faculty at the largest research universities in Germany whose recent work sits in neuroscience. Retired, trainee and staff-scientist records are filtered out where the public record identifies them. It is not a prestige ranking: professors are listed by how prominently neuroscience figures in their published work. Reply-fit scores, which weigh how likely each professor is to answer a student's email, are computed for your own profile inside ProfScout. Updated September 2026; the list is rebuilt from the open record a few times a year.
