  • 1953 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Matthew C. Walker is affiliated with University College London in the United Kingdom. Their research centers primarily on medicine and neuroscience, with significant contributions in subfields such as cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry and mental health, cellular and molecular neuroscience, pediatrics, perinatology and child health, and molecular biology.

The chief topics covered in their work include epilepsy research and treatment, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, pharmacological effects and toxicity studies, neural dynamics and brain function, functional brain connectivity studies, and genetics and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Walker has published extensively in numerous academic venues. Frequent publication outlets include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Epilepsia, Seizure, Epilepsia Open, and Epilepsy & Behavior.

Among the recent papers authored or co-authored by Walker are:

  • The aetiologies of epilepsy (2021, Epileptic Disorders)
  • On-demand cell-autonomous gene therapy for brain circuit disorders (2022, Science)
  • Theta power and theta-gamma coupling support long-term spatial memory retrieval (2020, Hippocampus)
  • Monogenic Epilepsies (2021, Neurology)
  • Optically pumped magnetoencephalography in epilepsy (2020, Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology)

Frequent co-authors in Matthew C. Walker's collaborations include Umesh Vivekananda, Beate Diehl, Fahmida A Chowdhury, Andrew W. McEvoy, and John S. Duncan.

Walker has contributed to book publications, including the title Sleep Insights, published by Open Agenda Publishing eBooks in 2020.
