Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Premotor cortex, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Motor cortex and Primary motor cortex. His study involves Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Motor skill, Motor system, Magnetoencephalography and Human brain, a branch of Neuroscience. Premotor cortex and Stroke are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary work.

His work focuses on many connections between Stroke and other disciplines, such as Physical medicine and rehabilitation, that overlap with his field of interest in Corticospinal tract, Stroke recovery, Cortex and Rehabilitation. As a part of the same scientific study, Nick S. Ward usually deals with the Motor cortex, concentrating on Cingulate sulcus and frequently concerns with Brodmann area 44, Brodmann area, Central sulcus and Intraparietal sulcus. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neuroimaging and Supplementary motor area.

His most cited work include:

  • Neural correlates of motor recovery after stroke: a longitudinal fMRI study. (728 citations)
  • How does transcranial DC stimulation of the primary motor cortex alter regional neuronal activity in the human brain (590 citations)
  • Neural correlates of outcome after stroke: a cross-sectional fMRI study (508 citations)

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

Nick S. Ward mostly deals with Stroke, Neuroscience, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Rehabilitation and Transcranial magnetic stimulation. His Stroke research incorporates themes from Physical therapy, Functional imaging and Neuroimaging. His work in the fields of Neuroscience, such as Motor cortex, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Motor system and Primary motor cortex, intersects with other areas such as Premotor cortex.

While the research belongs to areas of Motor cortex, Nick S. Ward spends his time largely on the problem of Brain mapping, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Magnetoencephalography. The Physical medicine and rehabilitation study combines topics in areas such as Neurophysiology, Corticospinal tract, Post stroke and Stroke recovery. His work in Transcranial magnetic stimulation addresses subjects such as Human brain, which are connected to disciplines such as Neuroplasticity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stroke (52.53%)
  • Neuroscience (42.86%)
  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation (35.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Stroke (52.53%)
  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation (35.94%)
  • Rehabilitation (26.27%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Stroke, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Rehabilitation, Psychological intervention and Stroke recovery. His Stroke study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lesion, Upper limb and Putamen. He combines subjects such as Neurophysiology, Motor skill, Motor learning, Beta and Neuroimaging with his study of Physical medicine and rehabilitation.

His Rehabilitation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Clinical trial and Quality of life. His Stroke recovery research incorporates elements of Stage, Behavioural intervention and Brain Structure and Function. Nick S. Ward studied Thalamus and Motor cortex that intersect with Transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Intensive upper limb neurorehabilitation in chronic stroke: outcomes from the Queen Square programme (74 citations)
  • Cerebral microbleeds and stroke risk after ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack: a pooled analysis of individual patient data from cohort studies (48 citations)
  • Dose-controlled tDCS reduces electric field intensity variability at a cortical target site (23 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Stroke

Nick S. Ward mainly focuses on Stroke, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Rehabilitation, Stroke recovery and Clinical neurology. His work carried out in the field of Stroke brings together such families of science as Anesthesia, International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, Upper limb, Neurocognitive and Laterality. His Physical medicine and rehabilitation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Electrophysiology, Neuroimaging, Motor skill and Electroencephalography.

His Neuroimaging research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Transcranial direct-current stimulation, Electric stimulation and Human Connectome Project. His Rehabilitation research includes themes of Observational study, Quality of life and Clinical trial. His Stroke recovery research incorporates elements of Stage, Brain behavior and Neuroinformatics.
