Overview

Simon F. Farmer is affiliated with University College London in the United Kingdom. Their research spans the fields of Medicine and Neuroscience, with a focus on several specific subfields including Cognitive Neuroscience, Neurology, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, and Infectious Diseases.

The scientist's work addresses key topics such as Neural Dynamics and Brain Function, Functional Brain Connectivity Studies, EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces, Neurological Disorders and Treatments, Intracerebral and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Research, Long-Term Effects of COVID-19, and Alzheimer's Disease Research and Treatments.

Their recent published papers include the following:

  • The emerging spectrum of COVID-19 neurology: clinical, radiological and laboratory findings (2020, Brain)
  • Characteristics of ischaemic stroke associated with COVID-19 (2020, Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry)
  • Epidemiological and cohort study finds no association between COVID-19 and Guillain-Barré syndrome (2020, Brain)
  • Iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy: an emerging clinical phenomenon (2022, Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry)
  • Iatrogenic Alzheimer's disease in recipients of cadaveric pituitary-derived growth hormone (2024, Nature Medicine)

Simon F. Farmer frequently publishes in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Brain, Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, NeuroImage, and Nature Medicine. Among these, bioRxiv features the highest number of published works.

Collaborative research is a significant part of their work, and frequent co-authors include Timothy O. West, Meaghan Elizabeth Spedden, David J. Werring, Gareth R. Barnes, and Hayriye Cagnan.
