Overview

Eric Salmon is affiliated with the University of Liège in Belgium and works primarily in the fields of Medicine and Neuroscience. Their research output includes substantial contributions to Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Physiology, Experimental and Cognitive Psychology, and Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging.

The main topics of their work focus on Dementia and Cognitive Impairment Research, Alzheimer's Disease research and treatments, Sleep and Wakefulness Research, Sleep and Related Disorders, Functional Brain Connectivity Studies, Memory and Neural Mechanisms, as well as Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery.

Their recent published papers demonstrate a concentration on neurodegenerative diseases, brain imaging, cognitive impairment, and brain function. Notable examples include:

  • "Parkinson's disease multimodal imaging: F-DOPA PET, neuromelanin-sensitive and quantitative iron-sensitive MRI" (2021) published in npj Parkinson s Disease
  • "Depressive symptoms in cognitively unimpaired older adults are associated with lower structural and functional integrity in a frontolimbic network" (2022) published in Molecular Psychiatry
  • "Anosognosia in Mild Cognitive Impairment: Lack of Awareness of Memory Difficulties Characterizes Prodromal Alzheimer's Disease" (2021) published in Frontiers in Psychiatry
  • "Effect of an 18-Month Meditation Training on Regional Brain Volume and Perfusion in Older Adults" (2022) published in JAMA Neurology
  • "Timely coupling of sleep spindles and slow waves linked to early amyloid-β burden and predicts memory decline" (2022) published in eLife

Eric Salmon collaborates frequently with a core group of coauthors, including Christine Bastin, Fabienne Collette, Christophe Phillips, Pierre Maquet, and Gilles Vandewalle. These collaborations reflect sustained partnerships in the study of cognitive decline and brain function.

Their work has appeared in multiple esteemed publication venues, notably:

  • Alzheimer's & Dementia (9 publications)
  • Alzheimer's Research & Therapy (6 publications)
  • Scientific Reports (6 publications)
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) (5 publications)
  • Cortex (4 publications)
