Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Pathology

Pathology, Neuroscience, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Cerebral cortex are his primary areas of study. His Pathology study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Limbic system. His study in Neuroscience is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Substantia nigra, Disease, Pathogenesis and Alpha-synuclein.

His studies deal with areas such as Neocortex, Neuropathology, Entorhinal cortex and Dementia as well as Alzheimer's disease. Thalamus is closely connected to Forebrain in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Parkinson's disease. The various areas that Heiko Braak examines in his Cerebral cortex study include Neuromelanin, Central nervous system and Brainstem.

His most cited work include:

  • Neuropathological stageing of Alzheimer-related changes. (10859 citations)
  • Staging of brain pathology related to sporadic Parkinson’s disease (6341 citations)
  • Stages in the development of Parkinson’s disease-related pathology (1812 citations)

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

Heiko Braak mostly deals with Pathology, Neuroscience, Alzheimer's disease, Disease and Anatomy. His work is connected to Parkinson's disease, Degenerative disease, Senile plaques, Tau protein and Neurofibrillary tangle, as a part of Pathology. Neuroscience is represented through his Cerebral cortex, Neocortex, Human brain, Hippocampal formation and Limbic system research.

His studies in Alzheimer's disease integrate themes in fields like Neuropathology, Apolipoprotein E, Entorhinal cortex and Dementia. His work carried out in the field of Disease brings together such families of science as Pathological and Autopsy. He has researched Anatomy in several fields, including Lipofuscin, Pyramidal cell, Nissl body, Nucleus and Central nervous system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pathology (56.01%)
  • Neuroscience (36.36%)
  • Alzheimer's disease (21.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Pathology (56.01%)
  • Neuroscience (36.36%)
  • Disease (16.13%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Pathology, Neuroscience, Disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Locus coeruleus. His Pathology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both White matter and Central nervous system. His studies in Neuroscience integrate themes in fields like Alzheimer's disease, Pathogenesis and Alpha-synuclein.

His study in Alzheimer's disease is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both GENERAL MORPHOLOGY, Neuroanatomy and Entorhinal cortex. His Locus coeruleus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Neuropathology, Superior cerebellar peduncle and Parkinson's disease. His Human brain study combines topics in areas such as Dementia and Senile plaques.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Correlation of Alzheimer Disease Neuropathologic Changes With Cognitive Status: A Review of the Literature (1050 citations)
  • 100 years of Lewy pathology (628 citations)
  • Stages of pTDP‐43 pathology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (534 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Neuron

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Pathology, Disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Locus coeruleus. His work deals with themes such as Neuropathology, Disease progression, Pathogenesis and Alpha-synuclein, which intersect with Neuroscience. His study in the field of Substantia nigra also crosses realms of Dorsal motor nucleus.

His research integrates issues of Cerebral cortex, Frontotemporal lobar degeneration, Fasciculation and Neocortex in his study of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. His research in Locus coeruleus intersects with topics in Neurodegeneration and Parkinson's disease. Within one scientific family, Heiko Braak focuses on topics pertaining to Pathological under Tau protein, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Tauopathy.
