Kristen M. Kennedy

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Internal medicine
• Cognition
• Neuroscience

Kristen M. Kennedy focuses on Neuroscience, White matter, Hippocampus, Entorhinal cortex and Working memory. Her research combines Cognitive psychology and Neuroscience. The concepts of her White matter study are interwoven with issues in Executive functions, Corpus callosum, Diffusion MRI and Brain size.

In her study, Cortex and Shrinkage is strongly linked to Physiology, which falls under the umbrella field of Hippocampus. Her Cortex research includes elements of Inferior parietal lobule, Temporal cortex, Putamen and Human brain. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Blood pressure and Episodic memory.

Her most cited work include:

• Regional Brain Changes in Aging Healthy Adults: General Trends, Individual Differences and Modifiers (2049 citations)
• Trajectories of brain aging in middle-aged and older adults: Regional and individual differences (380 citations)
• Aging white matter and cognition: Differential effects of regional variations in diffusion properties on memory, executive functions, and speed (342 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Cognition, Internal medicine, White matter and Developmental psychology. In the subject of general Neuroscience, her work in Aging brain, Episodic memory, Hippocampus and Hippocampal formation is often linked to Association, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Her Hippocampus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Caudate nucleus and Cortex.

Her studies in Cognition integrate themes in fields like Cognitive psychology, Beta and Audiology. Her White matter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Corpus callosum, Hyperintensity and Visual cortex. Kristen M. Kennedy interconnects Physiology and Brain size in the investigation of issues within Entorhinal cortex.

She most often published in these fields:

• Neuroscience (49.56%)
• Cognition (43.36%)
• Internal medicine (20.35%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

• Neuroscience (49.56%)
• Cognition (43.36%)
• White matter (20.35%)

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

Kristen M. Kennedy mainly investigates Neuroscience, Cognition, White matter, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance and Hippocampal formation. The Working memory research Kristen M. Kennedy does as part of her general Cognition study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Association, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Kristen M. Kennedy combines subjects such as Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Visual processing and Visual cortex with her study of White matter.

Her study on Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance also encompasses disciplines like

• Dopamine which intersects with area such as Cortex and Superior parietal lobule,
• Precuneus which intersects with area such as Posterior cingulate, Healthy aging and Dopamine receptor D2. Her work on Entorhinal cortex as part of general Hippocampal formation study is frequently linked to Segmentation, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her work carried out in the field of Hippocampus brings together such families of science as Limbic system and Amygdala.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Progress update from the hippocampal subfields group (20 citations)
• Contributions of White Matter Connectivity and BOLD Modulation to Cognitive Aging: A Lifespan Structure-Function Association Study (11 citations)
• Joint contributions of cortical morphometry and white matter microstructure in healthy brain aging: A partial least squares correlation analysis. (11 citations)
