Overview

Rick C. Helmich is affiliated with Radboud University in the Netherlands. Their research mainly focuses on neurological disorders, particularly Parkinson's Disease, with an emphasis on mechanisms and treatments associated with the condition. Helmich's work spans across medicine and neuroscience with a substantial contribution to neurology and various subfields including cellular and molecular neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, radiology, nuclear medicine and imaging, and epidemiology.

The scientist has published extensively in topics related to neurological disorders and treatments, Parkinson's Disease mechanisms and treatments, genetic neurodegenerative diseases, advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, functional brain connectivity studies, transcranial magnetic stimulation studies, and traumatic brain injury research.

Helmich has contributed papers to several frequent publication venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Movement Disorders, Clinical Neurophysiology, npj Parkinson's Disease, and Brain.

Notable recent papers authored by Rick C. Helmich include:

  • The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Parkinson's Disease: Hidden Sorrows and Emerging Opportunities (2020, Journal of Parkinson s Disease)
  • The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Psychological Distress, Physical Activity, and Symptom Severity in Parkinson's Disease (2020, Journal of Parkinson s Disease)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Helmich are:

  • Bastiaan R. Bloem
  • Michiel F. Dirkx
  • Anouk van der Heide
  • Petra Schwingenschuh
  • Martin E. Johansson

The scientist's research has been published in high-impact journals and addresses various clinical and neurophysiological aspects of Parkinson's Disease, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients. Their work also involves studying brain function and structure alterations in Parkinson's Disease through various interventional and observational studies.

Helmich's research engages multidisciplinary approaches covering neurology, neuroimaging, and clinical neurophysiology, contributing to the understanding of disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic interventions.
