Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine

César Ávila spends much of his time researching Impulsivity, Neuroscience, Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology and Cognition. His Impulsivity research incorporates elements of Personality and Disinhibition. His research in Neuroscience tackles topics such as Voxel which are related to areas like Striatum.

His Developmental psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, Neuroticism, Inhibitory control and Reinforcement sensitivity theory. His Reinforcement sensitivity theory study deals with Psychoticism intersecting with Sensation seeking. His study explores the link between Cognitive psychology and topics such as Neuroscience of multilingualism that cross with problems in Brain mapping, Multilingualism, Subcortical gray matter, Globus pallidus and Speech production.

His most cited work include:

  • The Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward Questionnaire (SPSRQ) as a measure of Gray's anxiety and impulsivity dimensions. (929 citations)
  • Reading cinnamon activates olfactory brain regions (297 citations)
  • The measurement of individual differences in Behavioural Inhibition and Behavioural Activation systems: a comparison of personality scales (220 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Audiology, Cognition and Developmental psychology. His study in the fields of Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Prefrontal cortex, Working memory and Resting state fMRI under the domain of Neuroscience overlaps with other disciplines such as Brain activity and meditation. His work in Prefrontal cortex tackles topics such as Reinforcement sensitivity theory which are related to areas like Amygdala and Voxel-based morphometry.

His research integrates issues of Speech perception, Neuroscience of multilingualism, Brain mapping and Verbal fluency test in his study of Cognitive psychology. His research investigates the connection between Cognition and topics such as Posterior parietal cortex that intersect with issues in Visual search. His Developmental psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Neuroticism, Personality, Disinhibition and Anxiety.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (29.24%)
  • Cognitive psychology (22.81%)
  • Audiology (20.47%)

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

  • Audiology (20.47%)
  • Neuroscience (29.24%)
  • Cognition (19.30%)

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

César Ávila focuses on Audiology, Neuroscience, Cognition, Voxel-based morphometry and Resting state fMRI. His studies deal with areas such as Working memory, Working memory training, n-back, Cognitive decline and Cognitive reserve as well as Audiology. His studies link Cocaine use with Neuroscience.

His research in Cognition focuses on subjects like Disease, which are connected to Language Experience Approach and Neuroscience of multilingualism. His work carried out in the field of Voxel-based morphometry brings together such families of science as Voxel, Psychopathology, Clinical psychology and Reinforcement sensitivity theory. His research investigates the link between Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and topics such as Priming that cross with problems in Cognitive psychology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Alterations in Brain Structure and Amplitude of Low-frequency after 8 weeks of Mindfulness Meditation Training in Meditation-Naïve Subjects. (20 citations)
  • Long-term brain effects of N-back training: an fMRI study. (17 citations)
  • Sex differences in gray matter volume: how many and how large are they really? (15 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine

His primary scientific interests are in Audiology, Neuroscience, Cognition, Neuropsychology and Brain activity and meditation. His Audiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Recall, Brain mapping, Working memory, Cognitive reserve and Atrophy. The various areas that César Ávila examines in his Brain mapping study include Neuroimaging, Context, Posterior cingulate and Anxiety.

His Cognition study incorporates themes from Longitudinal study, Neurology and Dementia, Cognitive decline. His study looks at the relationship between Resting state fMRI and topics such as Ventral tegmental area, which overlap with Anterior cingulate cortex, Reinforcement sensitivity theory and Prefrontal cortex. César Ávila has included themes like Voxel-based morphometry, Psychopathology, Frontostriatal circuit, Personality and Amygdala in his Reinforcement sensitivity theory study.
