Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Tara Johnson's research focuses on neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants and children, particularly those at high risk. Her recent work investigates the predictive power of the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination and Prechtl's General Movement Assessment for identifying conditions such as cerebral palsy. Johnson also studies developmental language trajectories in children with critical congenital heart disease and the impact of maternal diabetes on early infant neurodevelopment. Her research extends to surgical interventions, including the feasibility of magnetoencephalography in fetuses with cyanotic congenital heart disease and G-tube placement in patients with Robin sequence undergoing mandibular distraction osteogenesis. Johnson has published 41 papers, with a total of 252 citations and an h-index of 7. She frequently collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Alexa Escapita and Namarta Kapil.
