Overview

F. Xavier Castellanos is affiliated with New York University in the United States. The scientist's research spans multiple domains within neuroscience and medicine, with a particular emphasis on cognitive neuroscience and psychiatry. Their work addresses key topics including functional brain connectivity, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as advanced neuroimaging techniques.

Their recent publications cover various aspects of brain structure and function across disorders and developmental stages. Notable papers include:

  • Cortical thickness across the lifespan: Data from 17,075 healthy individuals aged 3-90 years (2021, Human Brain Mapping)
  • Disrupted intrinsic functional brain topology in patients with major depressive disorder (2021, Molecular Psychiatry)
  • Cannabinoid treatment for autism: a proof-of-concept randomized trial (2021, Molecular Autism)
  • Subcortical Brain Volume, Regional Cortical Thickness, and Cortical Surface Area Across Disorders: Findings From the ENIGMA ADHD, ASD, and OCD Working Groups (2020, American Journal of Psychiatry)
  • Systematic Review and Meta-analysis: Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (2020, Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry)

F. Xavier Castellanos frequently collaborates with researchers such as Xiao Chen and Chao-Gan Yan, both with 27 coauthorships, Michael P. Milham with 16, Tobias Banaschewski with 14, and Xi-Nian Zuo with 14 coauthored works.
