Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Major depressive disorder

Christine Heim spends much of her time researching Depression, Psychiatry, Child abuse, Clinical psychology and Major depressive disorder. Her work carried out in the field of Depression brings together such families of science as Internal medicine, Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, Physiology and Anxiety. Her Psychiatry research focuses on Risk factor and how it connects with Sensitization.

Her study looks at the intersection of Clinical psychology and topics like Neglect with Social support, Cerebrospinal fluid and Oxytocin. In her papers, Christine Heim integrates diverse fields, such as Major depressive disorder and Sexual abuse. Christine Heim has researched Psychopathology in several fields, including Chronic stress, Neuroscience and Central nervous system.

Her most cited work include:

  • Effects of stress throughout the lifespan on the brain, behaviour and cognition (3634 citations)
  • The role of childhood trauma in the neurobiology of mood and anxiety disorders: preclinical and clinical studies (2139 citations)
  • Pituitary-Adrenal and Autonomic Responses to Stress in Women After Sexual and Physical Abuse in Childhood (1605 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Psychiatry, Internal medicine, Depression, Clinical psychology and Developmental psychology. When carried out as part of a general Psychiatry research project, her work on Anxiety and Chronic fatigue syndrome is frequently linked to work in Child abuse and Psychological abuse, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Her Internal medicine research includes elements of Endocrinology and Telomerase.

Her work on Major depressive disorder as part of general Depression research is frequently linked to Sexual abuse and Physical abuse, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her Clinical psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Psychological intervention, Neglect and Cognition. Her research in Developmental psychology intersects with topics in Oxytocin, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Neuroscience.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Psychiatry (25.11%)
  • Internal medicine (27.31%)
  • Depression (25.11%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Developmental psychology (22.47%)
  • Hippocampal formation (13.66%)
  • Psychological intervention (8.37%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Developmental psychology, Hippocampal formation, Psychological intervention, Internal medicine and Depression. Her work in the fields of Developmental psychology, such as Middle childhood, overlaps with other areas such as Brain size. Her Hippocampal formation research integrates issues from Hippocampus and Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance.

As part of the same scientific family, Christine Heim usually focuses on Internal medicine, concentrating on Endocrinology and intersecting with Memory development. She studied Depression and Bioinformatics that intersect with DNA methylation. Her Clinical psychology study combines topics in areas such as Major depressive disorder and Mother child interaction.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Addiction Research Consortium: Losing and regaining control over drug intake (ReCoDe)-From trajectories to mechanisms and interventions. (40 citations)
  • Addiction Research Consortium: Losing and regaining control over drug intake (ReCoDe)-From trajectories to mechanisms and interventions. (40 citations)
  • Translating basic research knowledge on the biological embedding of early-life stress into novel approaches for the developmental programming of lifelong health. (34 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Major depressive disorder

Her primary areas of investigation include Psychological intervention, Developmental psychology, Disease, Early life stress and Stressor. Her research integrates issues of Young age, Systemic inflammation and Pediatrics in her study of Psychological intervention. Her work deals with themes such as Hippocampal formation and Socioeconomic status, which intersect with Developmental psychology.

Her studies deal with areas such as Cognition, Priming, Addiction and Drug as well as Stressor. Christine Heim performs multidisciplinary study in Mechanism and Clinical psychology in her work. Her work deals with themes such as Empathy and Personal distress, which intersect with Clinical psychology.
