Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine
  • Dopamine

Alain Dagher focuses on Neuroscience, Dopamine, Striatum, Raclopride and Functional magnetic resonance imaging. His study involves Caudate nucleus, Prefrontal cortex, Hippocampus, Nucleus accumbens and Working memory, a branch of Neuroscience. The various areas that Alain Dagher examines in his Dopamine study include Parkinson's disease and Putamen.

His Raclopride research includes themes of Amphetamine, Neurochemical and Ventral striatum. While the research belongs to areas of Ventral striatum, Alain Dagher spends his time largely on the problem of Dopamine receptor D2, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Dopamine receptor and Neurotransmitter. His Functional magnetic resonance imaging research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ghrelin, Cognition, Functional imaging, Brain mapping and Amygdala.

His most cited work include:

  • Changes in brain activity related to eating chocolate: from pleasure to aversion. (957 citations)
  • Evidence for striatal dopamine release during a video game (934 citations)
  • Evidence for striatal dopamine release during a video game (934 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Dopamine, Internal medicine, Parkinson's disease and Functional magnetic resonance imaging. His study in Raclopride, Striatum, Ventral striatum, Dopaminergic and Amphetamine is carried out as part of his studies in Dopamine. His research investigates the connection between Striatum and topics such as Putamen that intersect with problems in Caudate nucleus.

His research in Internal medicine intersects with topics in Endocrinology, Hyperintensity, Oncology and Cardiology. His studies examine the connections between Parkinson's disease and genetics, as well as such issues in Atrophy, with regards to Neurodegeneration, Substantia nigra, Brainstem and Cerebral cortex. The concepts of his Functional magnetic resonance imaging study are interwoven with issues in Anterior cingulate cortex, Resting state fMRI, Brain activity and meditation, Hippocampus and Amygdala.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (47.81%)
  • Dopamine (23.32%)
  • Internal medicine (19.53%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (47.81%)
  • Internal medicine (19.53%)
  • Neuroimaging (9.33%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Neuroimaging, Obesity and Disease. The study of Neuroscience is intertwined with the study of Schizophrenia in a number of ways. The study incorporates disciplines such as Endocrinology, Hyperintensity and Cardiology in addition to Internal medicine.

In his research on the topic of Cardiology, Striatum is strongly related with Anticipation. His Disease research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stage, Computational biology, Oncology and Atrophy. In general Dopamine, his work in Incentive salience is often linked to Conditioning linking many areas of study.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Network connectivity determines cortical thinning in early Parkinson's disease progression (99 citations)
  • Mega-Analysis of Gray Matter Volume in Substance Dependence: General and Substance-Specific Regional Effects (79 citations)
  • Supra-Additive Effects of Combining Fat and Carbohydrate on Food Reward (69 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Atrophy, Disease, Parkinson's disease and Internal medicine. His research combines Methamphetamine and Neuroscience. His Atrophy research includes elements of Cerebral cortex, Substantia nigra, Connectome, Neurodegeneration and Brainstem.

His study on Parkinson's disease also encompasses disciplines like

  • Biomarker, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Clinical trial, Single-photon emission computed tomography and Fractional anisotropy most often made with reference to Oncology,
  • Stage and related Globus pallidus and Nucleus accumbens. His research integrates issues of Neurocognitive, Endocrinology, Hyperintensity and Cardiology in his study of Internal medicine. His Dopamine research incorporates themes from Sample entropy and Odor.
