Fleur Knijn

Fleur Knijn is a Lecturer in Dental Material Sciences at the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA), Netherlands. Her research focuses on the intersection of neuroscience, dentistry, and geriatrics, particularly exploring how masticatory/swallowing performance and brain structure relate to cognitive impairment in older adults. She utilizes neuroimaging techniques like MRI and employs statistical methods such as logistic regression analysis.

Recent research output includes two peer-reviewed articles (2024) in the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation analyzing cross-sectional neuroimaging data. These studies investigate structural brain signatures (entorhinal cortex, supramarginal gyrus) and demographic factors associated with cognitive disorders in aging populations.
