William D. Gaillard is affiliated with George Washington University in the United States. Their research primarily spans the fields of Medicine and Neuroscience, with a strong focus on subfields such as Psychiatry and Mental Health, Cognitive Neuroscience, Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, and Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging.

The scientist has contributed extensively to the study of epilepsy, as reflected in their main research topics, which include Epilepsy Research and Treatment, Pharmacological Effects and Toxicity Studies, Neonatal and Fetal Brain Pathology, Functional Brain Connectivity Studies, EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces, Advanced MRI Techniques and Applications, and Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research.

William D. Gaillard's recent publications cover a range of topics related to brain development, epilepsy, and neuroimaging. Notable papers include:

  • The neural basis of language development: Changes in lateralization over age (2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • Interpretable surface-based detection of focal cortical dysplasias: a Multi-centre Epilepsy Lesion Detection study (2022, Brain)
  • Comprehensive multi-omic profiling of somatic mutations in malformations of cortical development (2023, Nature Genetics)
  • Atlas of lesion locations and postsurgical seizure freedom in focal cortical dysplasia: A MELD study (2021, Epilepsia)
  • Language and developmental plasticity after perinatal stroke (2022, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)

The frequent co-authors in their research include Chima Oluigbo, Nathan T. Cohen, Madison M. Berl, Xiaozhen You, and Taha Gholipour. This indicates collaboration with experts who contribute to fields closely related to neurological and developmental disorders.

William D. Gaillard publishes regularly in several academic venues, with the most frequent being:

  • Epilepsia
  • Neurology
  • Epilepsy & Behavior
  • Seizure
