Overview

Péter Halász is affiliated with Semmelweis University in Hungary and specializes primarily in the fields of Neuroscience and Medicine. Their research focuses extensively on sleep and epilepsy, contributing to several key topics including Sleep and Wakefulness Research, Epilepsy research and treatment, Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research, Sleep and related disorders, Pharmacological Effects and Toxicity Studies, Obstructive Sleep Apnea Research, and the Neuroscience of respiration and sleep.

Their work spans various subfields such as Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Experimental and Cognitive Psychology, and Physiology. This diverse approach underlines a comprehensive exploration of brain function and disorders related to sleep and epilepsy.

Among their recent scientific papers are the following:

  • Sleep and Epilepsy Link by Plasticity, 2020, Frontiers in Neurology
  • Sleep and epilepsy: A snapshot of knowledge and future research lines, 2022, Journal of Sleep Research
  • Standard procedures for the diagnostic pathway of sleep-related epilepsies and comorbid sleep disorders: an EAN, ESRS and ILAE-Europe consensus review, 2020, European Journal of Neurology
  • Cyclic alternating pattern in obstructive sleep apnea: A preliminary study, 2021, Journal of Sleep Research
  • Sleep medicine: Practice, challenges and new frontiers, 2022, Frontiers in Neurology

The venues where Péter Halász frequently publishes include Erdélyi Múzeum, Journal of Sleep Research, Frontiers in Neurology, Epilepsia Open, and Ideggyógyászati Szemle. These publications reflect a focus on neurological and sleep research communities.
