Overview

Timo Erkinjuntti is affiliated with the University of Helsinki in Finland. Their research primarily focuses on Medicine, with a strong emphasis on Neurology, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Surgery, Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, and Genetics. This multidisciplinary scope reflects in various areas including Dementia and Cognitive Impairment Research, Cerebrovascular and Genetic Disorders, Neurological Disease Mechanisms and Treatments, Congenital Gastrointestinal and Neural Anomalies, Fetal and Pediatric Neurological Disorders, and Genetic and Rare Skin Diseases.

The scientific output of Erkinjuntti includes studies published in recognized venues such as PubMed and UNC Libraries. Notable recent papers include The cognitive syndrome of vascular dementia: implications for clinical trials (2022, PubMed) and Shape Abnormalities of the Caudate Nucleus Correlate with Poorer Gait and Balance: Results from a Subset of the LADIS Study (2020, UNC Libraries).

Frequent collaborators in research projects have been David W. Desmond, Mary Sano, J L Cummings, John V. Bowler, and Florence Pasquier. These co-authors contribute to an interdisciplinary approach within the fields of neurology and psychiatry.

  • Frequent publication venues: PubMed, UNC Libraries

Erkinjuntti's work spans both clinical implications and neurological disease mechanisms, with attention to how cerebrovascular factors impact cognitive function. Their research also touches on aspects of gait and balance related to neuroanatomical changes. These areas intersect with the broader concern for neurological conditions affecting pediatric and adult populations alike.
