Overview

Hans-Otto Karnath is affiliated with the University of Tübingen in Germany and has contributed extensively to research in neuroscience and medicine. Their work predominantly focuses on cognitive neuroscience, with significant contributions in neurology and psychiatry and mental health. Their research also spans subfields including radiology, nuclear medicine and imaging, as well as pharmacology.

The primary topics of their scientific inquiry cover spatial neglect and hemispheric dysfunction, visual perception and processing mechanisms, musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research, Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, dementia and cognitive impairment research, and advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications.

Hans-Otto Karnath has been published frequently in venues including bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) with 27 publications, Brain Communications with 6, Scientific Reports with 4, Cortex with 4, and Human Brain Mapping with 4 publications.

Key recent papers include:

  • "Progression of Behavioral Disturbances and Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Patients With Genetic Frontotemporal Dementia," 2021, published in JAMA Network Open
  • "When the brain comes into play: Neurofunctional correlates of emotions and reward in game-based learning," 2021, published in Computers in Human Behavior
  • "Differential early subcortical involvement in genetic FTD within the GENFI cohort," 2021, published in NeuroImage Clinical
  • "A data-driven disease progression model of fluid biomarkers in genetic frontotemporal dementia," 2021, published in Brain
  • "A panel of CSF proteins separates genetic frontotemporal dementia from presymptomatic mutation carriers: a GENFI study," 2021, published in Molecular Neurodegeneration

Frequent collaborators include Christoph Sperber, Lisa Röhrig, Daniel Wiesen, David M. Cash, and Caroline Greaves. These collaborations reflect a strong network within the fields of neuroscience and neurology, contributing to multi-authored research projects.
