Overview

Alexander P. Leff is affiliated with University College London in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily spans the fields of Neuroscience and Medicine, with a significant focus on Cognitive Neuroscience, Rehabilitation, Epidemiology, Neurology, and Experimental and Cognitive Psychology.

Their work extensively covers topics such as Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery, Neurobiology of Language and Bilingualism, Acute Ischemic Stroke Management, Visual Perception and Processing Mechanisms, EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces, Spatial Neglect and Hemispheric Dysfunction, and Face Recognition and Perception.

Leff has contributed to a number of recent scientific papers including:

  • Damage to Broca's area does not contribute to long-term speech production outcome after stroke, 2020, Brain
  • Predictors of Poststroke Aphasia Recovery, 2021, Stroke
  • The Architect Who Lost the Ability to Imagine: The Cerebral Basis of Visual Imagery, 2020, Brain Sciences
  • Precision rehabilitation for aphasia by patient age, sex, aphasia severity, and time since stroke? A prespecified, systematic review-based, individual participant data, network, subgroup meta-analysis, 2022, International Journal of Stroke
  • Clinical Effectiveness of the Queen Square Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Service for Patients With Poststroke Aphasia, 2021, Stroke

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Leff include Jenny Crinion, Thomas M.H. Hope, Cathy J. Price, Matthew A. Lambon Ralph, and Catherine Doogan.

Their research output is published regularly in prominent venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, Aphasiology, Brain, and Brain Communications.
