Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience

Neuroscience, Cognition, Audiology, Psychiatry and Frontal lobe are her primary areas of study. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dementia and Parkinson's disease. The concepts of her Cognition study are interwoven with issues in Developmental psychology and Mood.

Barbara J. Sahakian has included themes like Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery, Spatial memory, Recognition memory, Neuropsychological test and Cognitive disorder in her Audiology study. Her study brings together the fields of Clinical psychology and Psychiatry. Her Frontal lobe study deals with Tower of London test intersecting with Supervisory attentional system.

Her most cited work include:

  • Stop-signal inhibition disrupted by damage to right inferior frontal gyrus in humans. (1406 citations)
  • Grand challenges in global mental health (1313 citations)
  • Planning and spatial working memory following frontal lobe lesions in man. (1077 citations)

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

Barbara J. Sahakian mainly investigates Cognition, Neuroscience, Psychiatry, Clinical psychology and Audiology. Her studies in Cognition integrate themes in fields like Developmental psychology and Cognitive psychology. Neuroscience and Dementia are frequently intertwined in her study.

Her is involved in several facets of Psychiatry study, as is seen by her studies on Depression, Impulsivity, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Cognitive disorder and Modafinil. Her Clinical psychology research includes elements of Neurocognitive, Mania, Bipolar disorder and Affect. Her Audiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Alzheimer's disease, Recognition memory, Neuropsychological test and Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cognition (38.67%)
  • Neuroscience (27.70%)
  • Psychiatry (25.63%)

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

  • Cognition (38.67%)
  • Clinical psychology (18.81%)
  • Neuroscience (27.70%)

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

Barbara J. Sahakian mostly deals with Cognition, Clinical psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive flexibility and Anxiety. Her Cognition study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dementia and Mood. Her Clinical psychology research includes themes of Mental health, Neurocognitive, Affect and Endophenotype.

Her Mental health study introduces a deeper knowledge of Psychiatry. Barbara J. Sahakian interconnects Nosology and Depression in the investigation of issues within Anxiety. Her Impulsivity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Addiction and Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Mapping Compulsivity in the DSM-5 Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders: Cognitive Domains, Neural Circuitry, and Treatment (95 citations)
  • A Randomized Trial Directly Comparing Ventral Capsule and Anteromedial Subthalamic Nucleus Stimulation in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Clinical and Imaging Evidence for Dissociable Effects (85 citations)
  • Biological and clinical characteristics of gene carriers far from predicted onset in the Huntington's disease Young Adult Study (HD-YAS): a cross-sectional analysis. (37 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience

Her primary areas of study are Cognition, Clinical psychology, Cognitive flexibility, Anxiety and Neuroscience. The various areas that she examines in her Cognition study include Observational study and Dementia. Her Cognitive flexibility study incorporates themes from Healthy individuals, Neurocognitive, Obsessive compulsive, Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery and Executive functions.

Her studies examine the connections between Executive functions and genetics, as well as such issues in Spatial memory, with regards to Audiology. Barbara J. Sahakian interconnects Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, Prefrontal cortex, Compulsive behavior and Depression in the investigation of issues within Anxiety. Her Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Alcohol dependence and Polysubstance dependence.
