Overview

Kimford J. Meador is affiliated with Stanford University in the United States and has an extensive research portfolio primarily focused on medical science, with a concentration in epilepsy research and treatment. Their scholarly work spans multiple subfields, including psychiatry and mental health, pediatrics, perinatology and child health, public health, environmental and occupational health, cognitive neuroscience, and cellular and molecular neuroscience.

Their main research topics include epilepsy research and treatment, pharmacological effects and toxicity studies, pregnancy and medication impact, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, maternal mental health during pregnancy and postpartum, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, and memory and neural mechanisms.

Meador has contributed to a range of recent publications. Notable papers include:

  • "Changes in Seizure Frequency and Antiepileptic Therapy during Pregnancy," 2020, New England Journal of Medicine
  • "Antiseizure Medication Concentrations During Pregnancy," 2022, JAMA Neurology
  • "Cognitive disorders in epilepsy I: Clinical experience, real-world evidence and recommendations," 2020, Seizure
  • "Multisite thalamic recordings to characterize seizure propagation in the human brain," 2023, Brain
  • "Two-Year-Old Cognitive Outcomes in Children of Pregnant Women With Epilepsy in the Maternal Outcomes and Neurodevelopmental Effects of Antiepileptic Drugs Study," 2021, JAMA Neurology

The scientist frequently collaborates with several notable coauthors, including:

  • Page B. Pennell
  • Carrie Brown
  • David W. Loring
  • Elizabeth E. Gerard
  • Jacqueline A. French

Meador's research is published in a variety of scientific venues, with frequent contributions to:

  • Neurology
  • Epilepsy & Behavior
