Overview

Leonardo Bonilha is affiliated with the Medical University of South Carolina in the United States. Their research primarily spans the fields of Medicine and Neuroscience, with a particular focus on several subfields including Cognitive Neuroscience, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Neurology, and Epidemiology.

Their work covers a range of topics centered on brain function and disorders. Key topics include Neurobiology of Language and Bilingualism, Functional Brain Connectivity Studies, Advanced Neuroimaging Techniques and Applications, Epilepsy Research and Treatment, EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces, Acute Ischemic Stroke Management, and Cerebrovascular and Carotid Artery Diseases.

Bonilha has authored multiple research papers, among which notable recent publications include:

  • White matter abnormalities across different epilepsy syndromes in adults: an ENIGMA-Epilepsy study (2020, Brain)
  • Network-based atrophy modeling in the common epilepsies: A worldwide ENIGMA study (2020, Science Advances)
  • Epilepsy and brain network hubs (2022, Epilepsia)
  • Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Surgical Outcomes Can Be Inferred Based on Structural Connectome Hubs: A Machine Learning Study (2020, Annals of Neurology)
  • Structural network alterations in focal and generalized epilepsy assessed in a worldwide ENIGMA study follow axes of epilepsy risk gene expression (2022, Nature Communications)
