Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition

Her main research concerns Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Brain activity and meditation, Audiology and Brain mapping. Her studies deal with areas such as Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Inferior frontal gyrus, Communication, Consciousness and Multilingualism as well as Cognitive psychology. Her Brain activity and meditation study combines topics in areas such as Cognition and Auditory perception.

Her Audiology research integrates issues from Anosognosia, Verbal fluency test, Neuropsychology, Verbal learning and Alzheimer's disease. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Motor cortex, Voxel, Anatomy and Auditory cortex. Her work investigates the relationship between Nuclear medicine and topics such as Dementia that intersect with problems in Positron emission tomography.

Her most cited work include:

  • Cerebral blood flow, blood volume and oxygen utilization. Normal values and effect of age. (879 citations)
  • Listening to Action-related Sentences Activates Fronto-parietal Motor Circuits (873 citations)
  • Mapping motor representations with positron emission tomography (848 citations)

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

Daniela Perani spends much of her time researching Neuroscience, Dementia, Cognitive psychology, Pathology and Positron emission tomography. Her Neuroscience study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Neurodegeneration. Many of her studies on Dementia involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Alzheimer's disease.

Daniela Perani has included themes like Brain activity and meditation, Neural correlates of consciousness, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Brain mapping in her Cognitive psychology study. Positron emission tomography is the subject of her research, which falls under Nuclear medicine. Her Internal medicine research incorporates themes from Endocrinology, Oncology and Cardiology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (33.68%)
  • Dementia (17.48%)
  • Cognitive psychology (14.14%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (33.68%)
  • Dementia (17.48%)
  • Neuroimaging (11.83%)

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

Daniela Perani mostly deals with Neuroscience, Dementia, Neuroimaging, Disease and Biomarker. Her study in Neuroscience is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neuropathology, Neurodegeneration and Vulnerability. Her study with Dementia involves better knowledge in Internal medicine.

Her work deals with themes such as Anesthesia, Hypermetabolism, Sagittal plane, Tics and Dopamine, which intersect with Neuroimaging. She combines subjects such as Cognitive impairment, Parkinsonism, Frontotemporal dementia and Tauopathy with her study of Biomarker. The study incorporates disciplines such as Audiology, Default mode network and Cortex in addition to Dementia with Lewy bodies.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • FDG-PET and CSF biomarker accuracy in prediction of conversion to different dementias in a large multicentre MCI cohort. (50 citations)
  • Single-subject SPM FDG-PET patterns predict risk of dementia progression in Parkinson disease. (29 citations)
  • Brain glucose metabolism in Lewy body dementia: implications for diagnostic criteria (27 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience

Daniela Perani mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Dementia, Dementia with Lewy bodies, Neurology and Frontotemporal dementia. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neuroinflammation, Nerve tract and Neurodegeneration. Her Dementia study which covers Biomarker that intersects with Oncology.

Her work in Dementia with Lewy bodies addresses subjects such as Cognition, which are connected to disciplines such as Clinical psychology, Social skills and Disease onset. Her studies in Neurology integrate themes in fields like Pediatrics, Neuropsychology and Pathology. Her study in Cardiology extends to Internal medicine with its themes.
