Overview

Josef Zentner is affiliated with the University of Freiburg in Germany. Their research has primarily focused on epilepsy, neuroscience, and related medical fields, with a significant number of publications spanning pediatrics, neurology, and psychiatric aspects of brain health.

Their recent scholarly contributions include papers published between 2020 and 2023 in well-known journals such as Epilepsia, Neurosurgery, Hippocampus, and others. Notable recent papers are:

  • Hemispherectomy Outcome Prediction Scale: Development and validation of a seizure freedom prediction tool, 2021, Epilepsia
  • Comparison of the real-world effectiveness of vertical versus lateral functional hemispherotomy techniques for pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy: A post hoc analysis of the HOPS study, 2021, Epilepsia
  • Not surgical technique, but etiology, contralateral MRI, prior surgery, and side of surgery determine seizure outcome after pediatric hemispherotomy, 2023, Epilepsia
  • Mossy fiber sprouting into the hippocampal region CA2 in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, 2021, Hippocampus
  • Multilobar Epilepsy Surgery in Childhood and Adolescence: Predictors of Long-Term Seizure Freedom, 2020, Neurosurgery

Zentner's work spans multiple topics within their main fields of study, including Medicine and Neuroscience. The primary research topics they cover involve:

  • Epilepsy research and treatment
  • Pharmacological effects and toxicity studies
  • Neonatal and fetal brain pathology
  • Neuroscience and neuropharmacology research
  • Advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications
  • Functional brain connectivity studies
  • Spine and intervertebral disc pathology

Their subfields of study further include Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Neurology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, and Cognitive Neuroscience.

Zentner has frequently published in prominent venues such as:
