Overview

Arthur W. Toga is affiliated with the University of Southern California in the United States and focuses primarily on the field of Medicine. Their research spans several subfields, including Psychiatry and Mental Health, Physiology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, and Neurology.

They have contributed extensively to topics such as Dementia and Cognitive Impairment Research, Alzheimer's Disease Research and Treatments, Functional Brain Connectivity Studies, Advanced Neuroimaging Techniques and Applications, Advanced MRI Techniques and Applications, Genetic Associations and Epidemiology, as well as Health, Environment, and Cognitive Aging.

Among their recent scholarly papers are:

  • APOE4 leads to blood-brain barrier dysfunction predicting cognitive decline (2020, Nature)
  • Spread of pathological tau proteins through communicating neurons in human Alzheimer's disease (2020, Nature Communications)
  • Functional brain architecture is associated with the rate of tau accumulation in Alzheimer's disease (2020, Nature Communications)
  • In vivo staging of regional amyloid deposition (2022, Columbia Academic Commons [Columbia University])
  • Longitudinal Associations of Blood Phosphorylated Tau181 and Neurofilament Light Chain With Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer Disease (2021, JAMA Neurology)

Their frequent co-authors include Clifford R. Jack, Andrew J. Saykin, John C. Morris, Laurel Beckett, and Michael W. Weiner.

Arthur W. Toga has published often in venues such as Alzheimer s & Dementia, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Nature Communications, Scientific Reports, and GeroScience.
