Leon J. Thal mainly focuses on Alzheimer's disease, Dementia, Internal medicine, Cholinergic and Neuroscience. Leon J. Thal has researched Alzheimer's disease in several fields, including Cardiology, Psychiatry and Cerebral amyloid angiopathy, Amyloid. The Dementia study combines topics in areas such as Cognition, Central nervous system disease, Degenerative disease and Gerontology.
His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endocrinology and Surgery. A large part of his Cholinergic studies is devoted to Cholinergic neuron. Many of his research projects under Neuroscience are closely connected to Epidermal growth factor, Neurosphere and Growth factor with Epidermal growth factor, Neurosphere and Growth factor, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Cholinergic, Alzheimer's disease and Nucleus basalis. His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Surgery and Cardiology. His study in Endocrinology focuses on Morris water navigation task in particular.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Acetylcholine and Amyloid in addition to Cholinergic. His Alzheimer's disease research includes themes of Central nervous system disease, Degenerative disease, Psychiatry and Dementia. His Nucleus basalis study results in a more complete grasp of Neuroscience.
His primary areas of investigation include Alzheimer's disease, Internal medicine, Choline acetyltransferase, Cholinergic and Dementia. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Apolipoprotein E, Donepezil, Cognitive decline and Amyloid. His research in Amyloid intersects with topics in Forebrain, Surgery and Cholinergic neuron.
His work in Internal medicine covers topics such as Psychiatry which are related to areas like Allele frequency. His Choline acetyltransferase study deals with Transplantation intersecting with Biochemistry, In vitro and Molecular biology. His Cholinergic research is within the category of Endocrinology.
Leon J. Thal focuses on Alzheimer's disease, Pathology, Dementia, Amyloid and Internal medicine. The various areas that Leon J. Thal examines in his Alzheimer's disease study include Mini–Mental State Examination, Apolipoprotein E, Thioflavin and Cognitive decline. His Mini–Mental State Examination study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lewy body, Central nervous system disease, Degenerative disease, Predictive value of tests and Dementia with Lewy bodies.
His work deals with themes such as Choline acetyltransferase, Neurofibrillary tangle and Neurochemical, which intersect with Apolipoprotein E. His research integrates issues of Endocrinology, Cholinergic, Cholinergic neuron and Surgery in his study of Cognitive decline. Leon J. Thal has researched Dementia in several fields, including Recall test, Recall, Audiology, Developmental psychology and Wechsler Memory Scale.
