Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Hippocampus

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Prefrontal cortex, Anatomy, Thalamus and White matter. His work on Basal expands to the thematically related Neuroscience. His Prefrontal cortex research incorporates themes from Hippocampus, Biphasic Pattern, Neuron and Period.

His research integrates issues of Precentral gyrus, Emotional lateralization, Inferior frontal gyrus and Neuroimaging in his study of Anatomy. His Thalamus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Memory disorder, Amnesia, Ventral striatum and Neuropsychology. His White matter study incorporates themes from Parietal lobe, Caudate nucleus and Audiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Broca's region revisited: cytoarchitecture and intersubject variability. (1121 citations)
  • Do rats have a prefrontal cortex (782 citations)
  • The prefrontal cortex and the integration of sensory, limbic and autonomic information. (378 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Prefrontal cortex, Anatomy, Atrophy and White matter. His Neuron, Cognition, Hippocampus, Posterior cingulate and Parvalbumin investigations are all subjects of Neuroscience research. His Prefrontal cortex study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Neuroimaging, Cortex, Neuropsychology and Cognitive flexibility.

The Anatomy study combines topics in areas such as Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, Ventral striatum, Basal ganglia, Prefrontal lobe and Posterior parietal cortex. His studies in Atrophy integrate themes in fields like Alzheimer's disease and Dementia, Cognitive decline. His study in White matter is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Diffusion MRI and Cardiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (119.05%)
  • Prefrontal cortex (56.19%)
  • Anatomy (31.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2014)?

  • Neuroscience (119.05%)
  • Atrophy (30.48%)
  • Diffusion MRI (27.62%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Atrophy, Diffusion MRI, Precuneus and Alzheimer's disease. His study in the fields of Cognition and Prefrontal cortex under the domain of Neuroscience overlaps with other disciplines such as Parahippocampal gyrus and Gray. His Cognition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Young adult, White matter, Sex characteristics and Affect.

Harry B.M. Uylings combines subjects such as Insula, Neuroimaging, Neuropsychology and Cognitive flexibility with his study of Prefrontal cortex. His Alzheimer's disease research integrates issues from Biomarker, Neurology and Cardiology. His research in Cognitive decline intersects with topics in Parietal lobe, Inferior parietal lobule, Posterior parietal cortex and Anatomy.

Between 2010 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Atrophy in the parahippocampal gyrus as an early biomarker of Alzheimer's disease (92 citations)
  • Atrophy in the parahippocampal gyrus as an early biomarker of Alzheimer's disease (92 citations)
  • Cognitive Inflexibility in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Major Depression Is Associated with Distinct Neural Correlates (68 citations)
