Overview

Angela C. Roberts is affiliated with the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. The primary area of research encompasses Neuroscience, with a focus on several subfields, including Cognitive Neuroscience, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Social Psychology, Behavioral Neuroscience, and Experimental and Cognitive Psychology.

The researcher's work covers multiple prominent topics such as Functional Brain Connectivity Studies, Memory and Neural Mechanisms, Stress Responses and Cortisol, Neural Dynamics and Brain Function, Primate Behavior and Ecology, Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research, and Neuroendocrine Regulation and Behavior.

Recent publications include:

  • Prefrontal cortex and depression, 2021, Neuropsychopharmacology
  • Opportunities and limitations of genetically modified nonhuman primate models for neuroscience research, 2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Over-activation of primate subgenual cingulate cortex enhances the cardiovascular, behavioral and neural responses to threat, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Combining brain perturbation and neuroimaging in non-human primates, 2021, NeuroImage
  • Controlling one's world: Identification of sub-regions of primate PFC underlying goal-directed behavior, 2021, Neuron

Frequent co-authors collaborating with this researcher include:

  • Christian M. Wood
  • Lauren McIver (14 publications)
  • Laith Alexander (9 publications)
  • Andrea M. Santangelo (9 publications)
  • Stephen J. Sawiak (8 publications)

Research output is regularly published in several notable venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Cerebral Cortex, Biological Psychiatry, arXiv (Cornell University), and Neuropsychopharmacology.

Their research activities involve experimental approaches to understanding brain function, neural dynamics, and behavioral neuroscience, particularly using primate models. This includes studies on prefrontal cortex involvement in depression and behavior regulation, as well as the integration of brain perturbation and neuroimaging techniques.
