Christopher Pittenger

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Gene
• Internal medicine
• Neuroscience

Christopher Pittenger mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Psychiatry, Genome-wide association study, Pharmacotherapy and Neuroimaging. His Neuroscience research includes themes of Synaptic plasticity, Long-term potentiation and CREB. His study in Synaptic plasticity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Synapse and Neuroplasticity.

Christopher Pittenger has researched Genome-wide association study in several fields, including Genetics, Heritability, Bipolar disorder and Quantitative trait locus, Genetic architecture. His Neuroimaging research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Clinical psychology, Clinical trial and MEDLINE. His studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Obsessive compulsive and Endocrinology.

His most cited work include:

• Stress, Depression, and Neuroplasticity: A Convergence of Mechanisms (1229 citations)
• Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain (726 citations)
• Reversible Inhibition of CREB/ATF Transcription Factors in Region CA1 of the Dorsal Hippocampus Disrupts Hippocampus-Dependent Spatial Memory (437 citations)

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

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Psychiatry, Obsessive compulsive, Clinical psychology and Tourette syndrome. His work in Neuroscience addresses issues such as Synaptic plasticity, which are connected to fields such as Long-term potentiation and Neuroplasticity. The Obsessive compulsive study combines topics in areas such as Treatment refractory, Cognitive behavioral therapy and Serotonin reuptake.

His studies deal with areas such as Meta-analysis, Anxiety and Comorbidity as well as Clinical psychology. His Meta-analysis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Clinical trial and Neuroimaging. His research investigates the link between Tourette syndrome and topics such as Knockout mouse that cross with problems in Endocrinology.

He most often published in these fields:

• Neuroscience (38.99%)
• Psychiatry (20.75%)
• Obsessive compulsive (18.24%)

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

• Neuroscience (38.99%)
• Dendritic spine (4.40%)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (4.40%)

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

Neuroscience, Dendritic spine, Obsessive-compulsive disorder, Clinical psychology and Obsessive compulsive are his primary areas of study. His Neuroscience study frequently involves adjacent topics like Histaminergic. Christopher Pittenger combines subjects such as Psychotherapist, Pharmacotherapy, Disease and Exposure and response prevention with his study of Obsessive-compulsive disorder.

As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Pharmacotherapy, concentrating on Bioinformatics and intersecting with Neurotransmitter and Neuroimaging. His work in Clinical psychology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Causal reasoning. His Obsessive compulsive research incorporates themes from Obsessive compulsive scale, Symptom assessment, Distress and Treatment completion.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Genomic Relationships, Novel Loci, and Pleiotropic Mechanisms across Eight Psychiatric Disorders (242 citations)
• Orbitofrontal Circuits Control Multiple Reinforcement-Learning Processes (42 citations)
• Ketamine disinhibits dendrites and enhances calcium signals in prefrontal dendritic spines. (30 citations)

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

• Gene
• Internal medicine
• Schizophrenia

Christopher Pittenger spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Meta-analysis, Clinical psychology, Dendritic spine and Depression. His Neuroscience investigation overlaps with Adaptive decision making and Reinforcement learning. In his research on the topic of Meta-analysis, Audiology, Thalamus and Anxiety is strongly related with Neuroimaging.

His study connects Lateralization of brain function and Clinical psychology. His Depression research includes elements of Hoarding disorder and Hoarding. As a part of the same scientific family, Christopher Pittenger mostly works in the field of Hippocampus, focusing on Schizophrenia and, on occasion, Forebrain, Autism spectrum disorder, Tourette syndrome and Genetic architecture.
