Overview

Michael Ewers is affiliated with the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany. Their research spans several fields of study within medicine and neuroscience, focusing heavily on cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry and mental health, physiology, radiology, nuclear medicine and imaging, as well as neurology.

The core topics within their work include dementia and cognitive impairment research, Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, functional brain connectivity studies, advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, neurological disease mechanisms and treatments, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, and neural dynamics and brain function.

Their recent papers highlight a range of contributions to neurological research:

  • "Neuroimaging standards for research into small vessel disease-advances since 2013" (2023, The Lancet Neurology)
  • "Functional brain architecture is associated with the rate of tau accumulation in Alzheimer's disease" (2020, Nature Communications)
  • "Midlife vascular risk factors and risk of incident dementia: Longitudinal cohort and Mendelian randomization analyses in the UK Biobank" (2021, Alzheimer s & Dementia)
  • "Patient-centered connectivity-based prediction of tau pathology spread in Alzheimer's disease" (2020, Science Advances)
  • "Higher CSF sTREM2 and microglia activation are associated with slower rates of beta-amyloid accumulation" (2020, EMBO Molecular Medicine)

The scientist frequently publishes in several venues, primarily in Alzheimer s & Dementia, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Nature Communications, Brain, and Alzheimer s Research & Therapy.

Their frequent co-authors include Nicolai Franzmeier, Katharina Büerger, Anna Dewenter, Matthias Brendel, and Robert Perneczky, with numerous collaborations across these researchers.
