Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Epilepsy
  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery

Peter D. Williamson mainly focuses on Epilepsy, Temporal lobe, Surgery, Anatomy and Electroencephalography. His Epilepsy research includes themes of Anesthesia, Vomiting and Phenobarbital. His Temporal lobe study combines topics in areas such as Hippocampal formation and Temporal cortex.

His study in the field of Central nervous system disease and Physical examination is also linked to topics like Birth trauma and Aura. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Anatomy, focusing on Brain mapping and, on occasion, Stimulation and Central nervous system. His research in the fields of Ictal overlaps with other disciplines such as Latency.

His most cited work include:

  • Comparison of carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, and primidone in partial and secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures (958 citations)
  • Characteristics of medial temporal lobe epilepsy: I. Results of history and physical examination (688 citations)
  • Practice parameter: Temporal lobe and localized neocortical resections for epilepsy Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology, in Association with the American Epilepsy Society and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (681 citations)

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

Peter D. Williamson spends much of his time researching Epilepsy, Surgery, Electroencephalography, Temporal lobe and Anesthesia. His research integrates issues of Magnetic resonance imaging, Central nervous system disease and Audiology in his study of Epilepsy. His Surgery study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as partial seizures and Epilepsy surgery.

His biological study deals with issues like Scalp, which deal with fields such as Occipital lobe and Seizure onset. His research on Temporal lobe also deals with topics like

  • Hippocampal formation together with Hippocampus,
  • Frontal lobe that connect with fields like Complex partial seizures. His study in Anesthesia is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Anticonvulsant, Status epilepticus, Phenobarbital and Neuroimaging.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Epilepsy (64.00%)
  • Surgery (34.67%)
  • Electroencephalography (34.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2011)?

  • Epilepsy (64.00%)
  • Surgery (34.67%)
  • Epilepsy surgery (20.00%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Epilepsy, Surgery, Epilepsy surgery, Ictal and Electroencephalography. Particularly relevant to Temporal lobe is his body of work in Epilepsy. The concepts of his Surgery study are interwoven with issues in Medically intractable epilepsy and Selective amygdalohippocampectomy.

His studies deal with areas such as Depth electrode, Intractable epilepsy and Craniotomy as well as Epilepsy surgery. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Ictal, focusing on Lateralization of brain function and, on occasion, Ictal-Interictal SPECT Analysis by SPM. Peter D. Williamson has included themes like Magnetic resonance imaging and Audiology in his Electroencephalography study.

Between 2000 and 2011, his most popular works were:

  • Practice parameter: Temporal lobe and localized neocortical resections for epilepsy Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology, in Association with the American Epilepsy Society and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (681 citations)
  • Practice parameter: temporal lobe and localized neocortical resections for epilepsy. (294 citations)
  • Medically intractable, localization-related epilepsy with normal MRI: Presurgical evaluation and surgical outcome in 43 patients (177 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Epilepsy

Peter D. Williamson mainly investigates Surgery, Epilepsy, Epilepsy surgery, Central nervous system disease and Temporal lobe. His Epilepsy research integrates issues from Guideline, Magnetic resonance imaging, Prospective cohort study and Clinical trial. His Magnetic resonance imaging research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Preoperative care, Refractory, Retrospective cohort study and Electroencephalography.

His Clinical trial research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Anesthesia, Asystole, Refractory epilepsy, Vagus nerve and Complication. His Anesthesia research includes elements of University hospital and Vagus nerve stimulation. His work carried out in the field of Temporal lobe brings together such families of science as Quality of life and Randomized controlled trial.
