Overview

Rudolf Nieuwenhuys is affiliated with the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in the United States. Their research primarily spans the fields of Neuroscience and Medicine, with a specific focus on Cognitive Neuroscience and Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and Imaging. Other areas of study include Molecular Biology, Developmental Neuroscience, and Nature and Landscape Conservation.

The research topics covered by Nieuwenhuys include Functional Brain Connectivity Studies, Neural Dynamics and Brain Function, Advanced MRI Techniques and Applications, Advanced Neuroimaging Techniques and Applications, Developmental Biology and Gene Regulation, Neurogenesis and Neuroplasticity Mechanisms, and Single-cell and Spatial Transcriptomics.

Nieuwenhuys has published multiple papers, many of which address aspects of the human neocortex and brain structure. Some recent publications include:

  • A detailed comparison of the cytoarchitectonic and myeloarchitectonic maps of the human neocortex produced by the Vogt-Vogt school (2020, Brain Structure and Function)
  • A new 3D myeloarchitectonic map of the human neocortex based on data from the Vogt-Vogt school (2023, Brain Structure and Function)
  • A Comparison of two Maps of the Human Neocortex: the multimodal MRI-based parcellation of Glasser et al. (2016a), and the myeloarchitectonic parcellation of Nieuwenhuys and Broere (2023), as a first step toward a unified, canonical map (2024, Brain Structure and Function)
  • Topological Analysis of the Brainstem of the Australian Lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri (2021, Brain Behavior and Evolution)

Alongside research publications, Nieuwenhuys cooperates frequently with other scholars, among them C.A.J. Broere, Luis Puelles, and Matthew F. Glasser.

Publication venues in which Nieuwenhuys regularly appears include Brain Structure and Function, Biomolecules, Brain Behavior and Evolution, and Preprints.org.

In 1998, Nieuwenhuys was awarded the Academy Medal by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
