Norman Geschwind

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Internal medicine
• Psychiatry
• Neuroscience

Norman Geschwind spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Lateralization of brain function, Cognitive psychology, Neurology and Cortex. His Lateralization of brain function study is concerned with the field of Audiology as a whole. Norman Geschwind focuses mostly in the field of Audiology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Biological theories of dyslexia and, in certain cases, Brain asymmetry and Planum temporale.

His work on Limb apraxia as part of general Cognitive psychology research is often related to Section, thus linking different fields of science. The various areas that Norman Geschwind examines in his Cortex study include Sensory system, Posterior parietal cortex and Anatomy. His work carried out in the field of Anatomy brings together such families of science as Gyrus and Aphasia.

His most cited work include:

• DISCONNEXION SYNDROMES IN ANIMALS AND MAN (2756 citations)
• Human Brain: Left-Right Asymmetries in Temporal Speech Region (1885 citations)
• Developmental dyslexia: Four consecutive patients with cortical anomalies (1129 citations)

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

Norman Geschwind mostly deals with Aphasia, Cognitive psychology, Audiology, Neuroscience and Dyslexia. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Agraphia, Linguistics and Psychoanalysis. Norman Geschwind has included themes like Statement and Cross modal transfer in his Psychoanalysis study.

His study in the field of Naming errors also crosses realms of Section. His Lateralization of brain function study in the realm of Audiology interacts with subjects such as Verbal fluency test. In the field of Neuroscience, his study on Selective attention overlaps with subjects such as Pharmacological Concepts.

He most often published in these fields:

• Aphasia (45.45%)
• Cognitive psychology (39.39%)
• Audiology (37.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1984-2009)?

• Developmental psychology (16.67%)
• Dyslexia (15.15%)
• Cognitive psychology (39.39%)

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

Norman Geschwind focuses on Developmental psychology, Dyslexia, Cognitive psychology, Lesion and Aphasia. When carried out as part of a general Developmental psychology research project, his work on Laterality is frequently linked to work in Trait, Varimax rotation, Left handed and Variance, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His work in the fields of Cognitive psychology, such as Apraxia, intersects with other areas such as Disconnection.

He interconnects Corpus callosum, Anatomy and Left limb in the investigation of issues within Lesion. In his research, Neuroscience is intimately related to Brain lesions, which falls under the overarching field of Aphasia. His studies deal with areas such as Biological theories of dyslexia and DCDC2 as well as Neuroscience.

Between 1984 and 2009, his most popular works were:

• Developmental dyslexia: Four consecutive patients with cortical anomalies (1129 citations)
• Cerebral Lateralization: Biological Mechanisms, Associations, and Pathology (681 citations)
• Handedness is not a unidimensional trait. (257 citations)

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

• Internal medicine
• Psychiatry
• Cognition

Norman Geschwind spends much of his time researching Lateralization of brain function, Audiology, Cognitive science, Neurology and Left handed. His Lateralization of brain function study improves the overall literature in Neuroscience. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biological theories of dyslexia, DCDC2 and Microgyria in addition to Audiology.

Norman Geschwind integrates many fields, such as Left handed and engineering, in his works. His Trait research incorporates elements of Hand preference, Neural system and Preference.
