Overview

Arn M. J. M. van den Maagdenberg is affiliated with Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands. Their research primarily spans the fields of Medicine and Neuroscience, with a significant focus on Psychiatry and Mental Health, Endocrine and Autonomic Systems, Molecular Biology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, and Neurology. The concentration of their work reflects an interdisciplinary approach bridging clinical and molecular aspects of brain function and neurological disorders.

Their main topics of study include migraine and headache studies, neuroscience of respiration and sleep, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, neural dynamics and brain function, neuroscience and neural engineering, olfactory and sensory function studies, and sympathectomy and hyperhidrosis treatments. This indicates a broad array of interests within neurological and physiological processes affecting health and disease.

Van den Maagdenberg has published extensively, with frequent appearances in venues such as The Journal of Headache and Pain, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Annals of Neurology, Cephalalgia, and Neurobiology of Disease. This range of journals demonstrates engagement with both clinical and experimental neuroscience communities.

Among recent papers are:

  • "Migraine," 2022, published in Nature Reviews Disease Primers
  • "Genome-wide analysis of 102,084 migraine cases identifies 123 risk loci and subtype-specific risk alleles," 2022, published in Nature Genetics
  • "Migraine and neuroinflammation: the inflammasome perspective," 2021, published in The Journal of Headache and Pain
  • "Anti-migraine Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Receptor Antagonists Worsen Cerebral Ischemic Outcome in Mice," 2020, published in Annals of Neurology
  • "Synapse and Active Zone Assembly in the Absence of Presynaptic Ca2+ Channels and Ca2+ Entry," 2020, published in Neuron

The scientist collaborates frequently with several researchers, including Gisela M. Terwindt, Else A. Tolner, Aster V. E. Harder, Irene de Boer, and Hreinn Stefánsson. These collaborations reflect ongoing partnerships within the field, assisting in advancing knowledge on migraine and neurological conditions.
