Overview

Agneta Nordberg is affiliated with the Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden. Their research is predominantly situated within the field of Medicine, with significant contributions to subfields such as Physiology, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Neurology, Molecular Biology, and Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience.

The primary topics covered in Nordberg's work focus intensively on Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, dementia and cognitive impairment research, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, functional brain connectivity studies, cancer-related cognitive impairment studies, Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments, and health systems, economic evaluations, and quality of life.

Nordberg has collaborated frequently with several co-authors, including Giovanni B. Frisoni, Frederik Barkhof, Konstantinos Chiotis, Alexander Drzezga, and Lyduine E. Collij. These collaborations reflect a broad network of researchers active in related areas of neurology and neuroimaging.

Their work has appeared regularly in prominent publication venues such as Alzheimer's & Dementia, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Molecular Psychiatry, ACS Chemical Neuroscience, and bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory).

Notable recent papers authored or co-authored by Nordberg include:

  • Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease: recommendations of the International Working Group, 2021, The Lancet Neurology
  • Amyloid-PET and 18F-FDG-PET in the diagnostic investigation of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, 2020, The Lancet Neurology
  • Biological subtypes of Alzheimer disease, 2020, Neurology
  • Alzheimer Disease as a Clinical-Biological Construct-An International Working Group Recommendation, 2024, JAMA Neurology
  • The validation status of blood biomarkers of amyloid and phospho-tau assessed with the 5-phase development framework for AD biomarkers, 2021, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging

In 2016, Nordberg was recognized as a Member of Academia Europaea, indicating participation in a broader academic community at the European level. This membership is one indication of their established role in the scientific field related to neurodegenerative diseases.
