Overview

Jennifer L. Whitwell is affiliated with the Mayo Clinic in the United States, contributing extensively to the fields of medicine and neuroscience. Their research primarily spans cognitive neuroscience, physiology, neurology, psychiatry and mental health, and radiology, nuclear medicine, and imaging.

Their work covers a variety of topics, with significant attention to neurobiology of language and bilingualism, dementia and cognitive impairment research, functional brain connectivity studies, voice and speech disorders, advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments, and language development and disorders.

Whitwell has authored numerous papers, including notable publications such as "Longitudinal neuroimaging biomarkers differ across Alzheimer's disease phenotypes" (2020, Brain), "The Apraxia of Speech Rating Scale: Reliability, Validity, and Utility" (2023, American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology), "Characterizing Amyloid-Positive Individuals With Normal Tau PET Levels After 5 Years: An ADNI Study." (2022, PubMed), "Diffusion tractography of superior cerebellar peduncle and dentatorubrothalamic tracts in two autopsy confirmed progressive supranuclear palsy variants: Richardson syndrome and the speech-language variant" (2022, NeuroImage Clinical), and "Longitudinal Amyloid-β PET in Atypical Alzheimer's Disease and Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration" (2020, Journal of Alzheimer's Disease).

Frequent coauthors in their research include:

  • Keith A. Josephs
  • Heather M. Clark
  • Hugo Botha
  • Mary M. Machulda
  • Joseph R. Duffy

Jennifer L. Whitwell's work is published predominantly in journals such as:

  • Neurology
  • Alzheimer's & Dementia
  • Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research
  • American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology
  • Journal of Alzheimer's Disease

Their research involves advanced imaging and clinical approaches to understand neurodegenerative diseases and speech-language disorders. The focus on biomarker development and neuroimaging provides insights into disease progression and heterogeneity within Alzheimer's disease and related conditions.
