Among their notable recent publications are:

  • "Choroid plexus volume is associated with levels of CSF proteins: relevance for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease," 2020, Neurobiology of Aging
  • "Impact of multisession 40Hz tACS on hippocampal perfusion in patients with Alzheimer's disease," 2021, Alzheimer s Research & Therapy
  • "Impact of 40 Hz Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation on Cerebral Tau Burden in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease: A Case Series," 2021, Journal of Alzheimer s Disease
  • "The multifactorial nature of healthy brain ageing: Brain changes, functional decline and protective factors," 2023, Ageing Research Reviews
  • "Non-invasive measurement of choroid plexus apparent blood flow with arterial spin labeling," 2020, Fluids and Barriers of the CNS

Their frequent coauthors reflect a collaborative research approach and include:

  • Álvaro Pascual-Leone (16 collaborations)
  • Stephanie S. Buss (16 collaborations)
  • Mouhsin M. Shafi (13 collaborations)
  • Peter J. Fried (9 collaborations)
  • Emiliano Santarnecchi (8 collaborations)

Daniel Z. Press publishes regularly in specialized venues such as:
