Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Cognition

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hippocampus, Hippocampal formation, Internal medicine, Dementia and Cognition. His research in Hippocampus intersects with topics in Alzheimer's disease, Brain size, Atrophy and Degenerative disease. His Internal medicine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Endocrinology and Cardiology.

His studies in Cardiology integrate themes in fields like Neocortex, Cognitive decline, Apolipoprotein E, Entorhinal cortex and Cognitive disorder. His Dementia research integrates issues from Neuroscience, Fusiform gyrus and Audiology. His work investigates the relationship between Cognition and topics such as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus that intersect with problems in Type 2 diabetes, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance and Pediatrics.

His most cited work include:

  • Cortisol levels during human aging predict hippocampal atrophy and memory deficits. (1330 citations)
  • Prediction of cognitive decline in normal elderly subjects with 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose/positron-emission tomography (FDG/PET) (538 citations)
  • Prediction of cognitive decline in normal elderly subjects with 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose/positron-emission tomography (FDG/PET) (538 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Insulin resistance, Psychiatry and Diabetes mellitus. His Internal medicine study which covers Cardiology that intersects with Pathology and Retinal. His Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Frontal lobe, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance and Systemic inflammation.

His Type 2 diabetes study incorporates themes from Cognitive disorder and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Internal medicine (63.59%)
  • Insulin resistance (30.58%)
  • Endocrinology (48.54%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Insulin resistance, Endocrinology, Obesity and Diabetes mellitus. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiology. Antonio Convit interconnects Audiology, Neuropsychology, Young adult, Brain Structure and Function and Metabolic syndrome in the investigation of issues within Insulin resistance.

His Audiology research focuses on Neuroscience and how it connects with Parahippocampal gyrus. As part of one scientific family, Antonio Convit deals mainly with the area of Obesity, narrowing it down to issues related to the Clinical psychology, and often Empathy. The concepts of his Dementia study are interwoven with issues in Hippocampal formation, Oncology and Female sex.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Preliminary evidence of cognitive and brain abnormalities in uncomplicated adolescent obesity (82 citations)
  • Analysis of the MIRIAD Data Shows Sex Differences in Hippocampal Atrophy Progression (55 citations)
  • Analysis of the MIRIAD Data Shows Sex Differences in Hippocampal Atrophy Progression (55 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Cognition

Antonio Convit mainly focuses on Insulin resistance, Internal medicine, Audiology, Gerontology and Neuropsychology. His Insulin resistance study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cognition and Disease. The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiology.

The various areas that Antonio Convit examines in his Audiology study include Neuroscience and Vigilance. His study in Gerontology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hippocampal formation, Dementia, Oncology and Female sex. Antonio Convit combines subjects such as Developmental psychology, Working memory, Brain Structure and Function and Orbitofrontal cortex with his study of Neuropsychology.
