Overview

Simon J.G. Lewis is affiliated with the University of Sydney in Australia. Their primary fields of study include Medicine and Neuroscience, with significant involvement in Neurology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Physiology, and Epidemiology. The main topics of their research focus on neurological conditions and treatments, particularly Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments, as well as sleep and wakefulness research and dementia and cognitive impairment studies.

Recent notable papers by Simon J.G. Lewis include:

  • Research criteria for the diagnosis of prodromal dementia with Lewy bodies, 2020, Neurology
  • Diagnosis and management of dementia with Lewy bodies: Fourth consensus report of the DLB Consortium, 2020, Newcastle University ePrints (Newcastle University)
  • Biomarkers of conversion to α-synucleinopathy in isolated rapid-eye-movement sleep behaviour disorder, 2021, The Lancet Neurology
  • Analysis of DNA methylation associates the cystine-glutamate antiporter SLC7A11 with risk of Parkinson's disease, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Lipid pathway dysfunction is prevalent in patients with Parkinson's disease, 2022, Brain

Their frequent co-authors are:

  • Elie Matar
  • Kaylena A. Ehgoetz Martens
  • Glenda M. Halliday
  • Bradley F. Boeve
  • John-Paul Taylor

Simon J.G. Lewis publishes regularly in several scientific venues, most prominently:

  • Movement Disorders
  • Journal of Neurology
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Brain
  • npj Parkinson's Disease

Their research covers extensive areas in neurology, such as Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, addressing both clinical diagnosis criteria and biomarkers for disease progression. The focus on sleep disorders, including REM sleep behavior disorder, highlights an interdisciplinary approach bridging neurology and sleep medicine.
