Overview

Bernd Weber is affiliated with the University of Bonn in Germany and has contributed extensively to research in medicine and neuroscience, with a focus on cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging, and epilepsy. Their work spans several subfields, including radiology, nuclear medicine, and imaging, psychiatry and mental health, cellular and molecular neuroscience, and molecular biology.

Weber's research topics cover a wide range of areas such as functional brain connectivity studies, advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, epilepsy research and treatment, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, neural and behavioral psychology studies, fetal and pediatric neurological disorders, and behavioral health and interventions.

Among recent significant publications are:

  • White matter abnormalities across different epilepsy syndromes in adults: an ENIGMA-Epilepsy study (2020), Brain
  • Network-based atrophy modeling in the common epilepsies: A worldwide ENIGMA study (2020), Science Advances
  • Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Surgical Outcomes Can Be Inferred Based on Structural Connectome Hubs: A Machine Learning Study (2020), Annals of Neurology
  • Structural network alterations in focal and generalized epilepsy assessed in a worldwide ENIGMA study follow axes of epilepsy risk gene expression (2022), Nature Communications
  • The ENIGMA-Epilepsy working group: Mapping disease from large data sets (2020), Human Brain Mapping

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Weber include:

  • Simon S. Keller
  • Theodor Rüber
  • Carrie R. McDonald
  • Leonardo Bonilha
  • Ezequiel Gleichgerrcht

Weber has published regularly in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Human Brain Mapping, Epilepsia, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Scientific Reports.

The body of Weber's work focuses extensively on understanding neurological disorders, particularly epilepsy, through the use of large datasets, structural connectome analysis, and machine learning, contributing to the mapping of disease mechanisms in the brain. Their research integrates imaging techniques and clinical data to explore structural and functional brain abnormalities related to neurological and psychiatric conditions.
