Dr. Paus’s research explores the structural and functional dynamics of the human brain. Early work focused on cerebral cortex organization through lesion studies, neuroimaging, and brain stimulation. Recently, he pioneered Population Neuroscience, examining child and youth brain health via large-scale cohorts. His contributions include methodological innovations in voxel-wise analysis (Science 1999), combining brain stimulation with imaging (Journal of Neuroscience 1997), and frameworks for anterior cingulate cortex function (Nature Reviews Neuroscience 2001).
His publications address white matter development (Journal of Neuroscience 2008, NeuroImage 2015), emphasizing axonal transport and adolescent cognitive maturation. Current work bridges molecular (omics) and community-level analyses (geospatial mapping of environments).
His work has been cited over 54,000 times (h-index: 111) and culminated in the 2013 book Population Neuroscience (Springer). He continues to influence systems neuroscience through cross-disciplinary frameworks.
