Of the 37 unique institutions that make up these lists, 27 are US-based organizations. Of the remaining 10, the UK claims the majority with five, and then there are one each from France, Germany, Sweden, Japan, and Canada.
There is a strong correlation between the top institutions and the top authors. Harvard has Dennis Selkoe and Bradley Hyman; Mayo has Ronald Petersen, Christopher Eckman, Eileen McGowan, and Eric Tangalos; the University of California, San Diego has Eliezer Masliah; the University of Pennsylvania has Virginia Lee and John Trojanowski; NIA has Mark Mattson; UCL has John Hardy; the Karolinska Institute has Bengt Winblad, and so on.

Overall General Information
Regarding Top 20 Scientists, Institutions, Journals, & Nations
Citation tables allow us to map compelling trends:
- Are there particular nations or institutions that might be expected to dominate research in the Topic area, and do the numbers bear out these expectations, or are there surprises?
- Who are the leading scientists and where are they located?
While these tables cannot offer a complete picture, the number of trends and anomalies that can be spotlighted or connected across categories is striking. The tables often lead to renewed perspectives to further explore and validate.
What are Special Topics?
Special Topics, from ScienceWatch.com, is designed to complement Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Clarivate in providing citation analyses and commentary for selected scientific research areas that have experienced notable recent advances or are of special current interest.
