Overview

Paul Boon is affiliated with Ghent University in Belgium and conducts research primarily in the fields of neuroscience and medicine. Their work spans various subfields including neurology, cognitive neuroscience, cellular and molecular neuroscience, psychiatry and mental health, and pediatrics, perinatology, and child health.

Their research focuses on numerous topics within neuroscience, notably epilepsy research and treatment, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, neuroscience and neural engineering, vagus nerve stimulation research, neurological disorders and treatments, and functional brain connectivity studies.

Frequent publication venues where Boon's work appears include the European Journal of Neurology, Neuromodulation Technology at the Neural Interface, Brain Stimulation, Frontiers in Neuroscience, and the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.

Some of their recent papers include the following:

  • Neurological manifestations and neuro-invasive mechanisms of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (2020, European Journal of Neurology)
  • Global synergistic actions to improve brain health for human development (2023, Nature Reviews Neurology)
  • The European Academy of Neurology Brain Health Strategy: One brain, one life, one approach (2022, European Journal of Neurology)
  • Deep Brain Stimulation in Epilepsy: A Role for Modulation of the Mammillothalamic Tract in Seizure Control? (2020, Neurosurgery)
  • Deep Brain Stimulation of the Anterior Nucleus of the Thalamus in Drug-Resistant Epilepsy in the MORE Multicenter Patient Registry (2023, Neurology)
