Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Amygdala, Oxytocin, Neuropeptide and Functional magnetic resonance imaging. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Voxel and Audiology. His work deals with themes such as Cognitive psychology, Insula, Anxiety, Developmental psychology and Prefrontal cortex, which intersect with Amygdala.

His work in the fields of Prosocial behavior overlaps with other areas such as Offspring. The concepts of his Neuropeptide study are interwoven with issues in Dopamine, Brain stimulation reward and Reward system. His study in Functional magnetic resonance imaging is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Schizophrenia, Functional neuroimaging, Electroencephalography and Salience.

His most cited work include:

  • Oxytocin enhances brain reward system responses in men viewing the face of their female partner (201 citations)
  • Oxytocin facilitates protective responses to aversive social stimuli in males. (183 citations)
  • Neural, electrophysiological and anatomical basis of brain-network variability and its characteristic changes in mental disorders (165 citations)

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

Benjamin Becker mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Oxytocin, Amygdala, Cognition and Clinical psychology. His Neuroscience and Resting state fMRI, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Insula, Striatum and Orbitofrontal cortex investigations all form part of his Neuroscience research activities. His Oxytocin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Neuropeptide, Developmental psychology, Autism and Anxiety.

His study looks at the relationship between Amygdala and fields such as Anxiolytic, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Cognition research includes themes of Neuroimaging and Cannabis. Within one scientific family, Benjamin Becker focuses on topics pertaining to Addiction under Clinical psychology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Substance use.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (46.67%)
  • Oxytocin (26.67%)
  • Amygdala (25.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (46.67%)
  • Oxytocin (26.67%)
  • Amygdala (25.78%)

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

Neuroscience, Oxytocin, Amygdala, Cognition and Clinical psychology are his primary areas of study. His work in Neuroscience addresses issues such as Autism spectrum disorder, which are connected to fields such as Corpus callosum. The study incorporates disciplines such as Neuropeptide, Anxiolytic, Anxiety and Nasal administration in addition to Oxytocin.

Benjamin Becker has researched Amygdala in several fields, including Prefrontal cortex and Serotonergic, Serotonin. His Cognition research incorporates themes from Audiology, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Cannabis. His Clinical psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Psychosocial, Depression, Association and Personality.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Measurement and Conceptualization of Gaming Disorder According to the World Health Organization Framework: the Development of the Gaming Disorder Test (36 citations)
  • Prevalence and Psychosocial Correlates of Mental Health Outcomes Among Chinese College Students During the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic (29 citations)
  • Advances in the field of intranasal oxytocin research: lessons learned and future directions for clinical research (17 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine

Benjamin Becker spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Oxytocin, Clinical psychology, Amygdala and Functional neuroimaging. Many of his studies on Neuroscience involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Substance use. The various areas that Benjamin Becker examines in his Oxytocin study include Neuropeptide, Romance and Nasal administration.

The Clinical psychology study combines topics in areas such as Psychosocial, Mental health, Checklist and Depression. Benjamin Becker focuses mostly in the field of Amygdala, narrowing it down to matters related to Prefrontal cortex and, in some cases, Major depressive disorder, Executive functions and Generalized anxiety disorder. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cannabis, Neurofeedback, Brain activity and meditation and Positive correlation.
