Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Charles M. Glasier's research focuses on the application of medical imaging techniques, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to investigate developmental processes and health outcomes in newborns, children, and adolescents. His work explores the associations between maternal health during pregnancy, including physical activity, depressive symptoms, and diet quality, and various aspects of neonatal brain development, such as cortical development, functional connectivity, and white matter development. He also studies the relationship between white matter microstructures and cognitive functioning in older children, as well as cortical asymmetry and domain-specific cognitive functions.

Beyond prenatal influences, Glasier's research extends to the evaluation of specific medical conditions. He has investigated the clinical and radiological features of caudal regression syndrome and the utility of specific MRI sequences in identifying injuries in patients with abusive head trauma, including retinal and subdural hemorrhages. His work is supported by his extensive publication record, with 149 total publications and 3,533 citations, contributing to his h-index of 36. He is recognized as a highly cited researcher and leads a research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, collaborating with colleagues such as Xiawei Ou and Xiaoxu Na.
