Overview

James G. Herndon is affiliated with Emory University in the United States and conducts research primarily within the fields of neuroscience and medicine. They focus on several specialized subfields, including radiology, nuclear medicine and imaging, cellular and molecular neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, and physiology.

Their work addresses a range of topics, notably memory and neural mechanisms, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, prion diseases and protein misfolding, nuclear receptors and signaling, and advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications.

Herndon has contributed to multiple scientific publications, with recent works including:

  • Age-related decline in executive function as a hallmark of cognitive ageing in primates: an overview of cognitive and neurobiological studies, 2020, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
  • Cerebral Aβ deposition in an Aβ-precursor protein-transgenic rhesus monkey, 2022, Aging Brain
  • In-vivo diffusion MRI protocol optimization for the chimpanzee brain and examination of aging effects on the primate optic nerve at 3T, 2020, Magnetic Resonance Imaging

They frequently collaborate with other researchers, including Chunxia Li, Agnès Lacreuse, Naftali Raz, Daniel Schmidtke, and William D. Hopkins.

Their publications appear in venues such as Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Aging Brain, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, reflecting an interdisciplinary approach to the study of brain function and aging in primates.
