Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen

Alfred P. Wolf mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Positron emission tomography, Central nervous system and Nuclear medicine. His research integrates issues of Anesthesia, Hypofrontality and Detoxification in his study of Internal medicine. As part of the same scientific family, Alfred P. Wolf usually focuses on Endocrinology, concentrating on Receptor and intersecting with Benperidol.

His work carried out in the field of Positron emission tomography brings together such families of science as Biophysics, Schizophrenia, Chemotherapy and Pathology. His Nuclear medicine research incorporates themes from Alzheimer's disease, Tomography and Glucose utilization. His Dopamine research includes themes of Pharmacology and Neurotransmitter.

His most cited work include:

  • Graphical analysis of reversible radioligand binding from time-activity measurements applied to [N-11C-methyl]-(-)-cocaine PET studies in human subjects (1192 citations)
  • The [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose method for the measurement of local cerebral glucose utilization in man. (1031 citations)
  • Decreased dopamine D2 receptor availability is associated with reduced frontal metabolism in cocaine abusers (777 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Radiochemistry, Internal medicine, Positron emission tomography, Endocrinology and Nuclear medicine. Alfred P. Wolf combines subjects such as Yield, Cyclotron, Nuclear chemistry, Irradiation and Carbon with his study of Radiochemistry. In Internal medicine, Alfred P. Wolf works on issues like Schizophrenia, which are connected to Psychosis.

His Positron emission tomography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Brain positron emission tomography, Alzheimer's disease and Pathology. His Endocrinology study typically links adjacent topics like Receptor. Alfred P. Wolf regularly ties together related areas like Pharmacology in his Striatum studies.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Radiochemistry (17.93%)
  • Internal medicine (16.67%)
  • Positron emission tomography (15.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1990-2020)?

  • Internal medicine (16.67%)
  • Endocrinology (14.35%)
  • Dopamine (6.33%)

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

Alfred P. Wolf mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Dopamine, Pharmacology and Positron emission tomography. His work deals with themes such as Schizophrenia and Psychosis, which intersect with Internal medicine. Alfred P. Wolf works mostly in the field of Endocrinology, limiting it down to topics relating to Receptor and, in certain cases, Stereochemistry, as a part of the same area of interest.

Alfred P. Wolf has researched Dopamine in several fields, including Neurotransmitter, Binding site and Human brain. His research in Pharmacology intersects with topics in Monoamine oxidase, Enzyme and Cocaine binding. His Positron emission tomography research incorporates elements of Brain positron emission tomography and Nuclear magnetic resonance.

Between 1990 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Decreased dopamine D2 receptor availability is associated with reduced frontal metabolism in cocaine abusers (777 citations)
  • Inhibition of monoamine oxidase B in the brains of smokers (565 citations)
  • Is Methylphenidate Like Cocaine?: Studies on Their Pharmacokinetics and Distribution in the Human Brain (471 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen

Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Dopamine, Pharmacology and Central nervous system are his primary areas of study. Internal medicine is closely attributed to Psychosis in his study. The concepts of his Endocrinology study are interwoven with issues in Receptor, Lorazepam and Detoxification.

His Dopamine research includes elements of Baboon and Neurotransmitter. The Pharmacology study combines topics in areas such as Analysis of variance, Smoking cessation, Monoamine oxidase, Dopamine receptor and Addiction. His Central nervous system research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Haloperidol, Positron emission tomography, Metabolism and Thalamus.
