Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Gene

Natacha Akshoomoff mainly investigates Neuroscience, Cerebellum, Autism, White matter and Cognition. In the field of Neuroscience, her study on Neurological examination, Verbal fluency test and Superior colliculus overlaps with subjects such as Adaptation. She interconnects Associative learning and Degenerative disease in the investigation of issues within Cerebellum.

Her work deals with themes such as Pediatrics and Audiology, which intersect with Autism. Her White matter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cerebral cortex, Anterior cingulate cortex, Impulse and Brain mapping. Her Developmental psychology research includes themes of Brain morphometry and Socioeconomic status.

Her most cited work include:

  • Unusual brain growth patterns in early life in patients with autistic disorder: An MRI study (1173 citations)
  • Evidence of brain overgrowth in the first year of life in autism. (879 citations)
  • Family income, parental education and brain structure in children and adolescents (592 citations)

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

Natacha Akshoomoff mainly focuses on Developmental psychology, Autism, Cognition, Neuroscience and Clinical psychology. Her Developmental psychology research includes elements of Cognitive development, Neurocognitive, Neuropsychological assessment and Test. Her studies in Autism integrate themes in fields like Audiology and Brain size.

Her Cognition study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Academic achievement and Cognitive psychology. Her Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in White matter and Fractional anisotropy. Her research integrates issues of Pediatrics, Cerebellar vermis and Electroencephalography in her study of Developmental disorder.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Developmental psychology (33.33%)
  • Autism (40.95%)
  • Cognition (20.95%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Developmental psychology (33.33%)
  • Cognition (20.95%)
  • Fetal alcohol syndrome (4.76%)

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

Natacha Akshoomoff mostly deals with Developmental psychology, Cognition, Fetal alcohol syndrome, Demography and Fetal alcohol. Her work carried out in the field of Developmental psychology brings together such families of science as Weakness and Set. Her work in Fetal alcohol syndrome addresses issues such as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, which are connected to fields such as Prenatal alcohol exposure.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Socioeconomic status, Confidence interval and Developmental disorder. Her Neuropsychology research incorporates themes from Cognitive development, Cognitive psychology, NIH Toolbox and Cognitive flexibility. Her work in Autism spectrum disorder tackles topics such as Cohort which are related to areas like Autism.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in 4 US Communities (265 citations)
  • Cortical morphology of the pars opercularis and its relationship to motor-inhibitory performance in a longitudinal, developing cohort (16 citations)
  • Mathematics ability and related skills in preschoolers born very preterm. (13 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Gene

Natacha Akshoomoff mainly investigates Cognition, Neuropsychology, Executive functions, Cohort and Weakness. Her work in the fields of Cognition, such as Cognitive flexibility, NIH Toolbox and Cognitive development, overlaps with other areas such as Battery. Her Neuropsychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Autism and Autism spectrum disorder.

Many of her studies involve connections with topics such as Inhibitory control and Executive functions. Her research in Cohort intersects with topics in Pars opercularis, Inferior frontal gyrus, Cortical surface, Anatomy and Brain mapping. The concepts of her Weakness study are interwoven with issues in Developmental psychology and Very preterm, Very Preterm Birth.
