Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Schizophrenia
  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition

His primary scientific interests are in Psychosis, Prepulse inhibition, Schizophrenia, Neuroscience and Audiology. David L. Braff combines subjects such as Cognition, Cognitive disorder and Sensory gating with his study of Psychosis. His work carried out in the field of Cognition brings together such families of science as Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology, Psychiatric genetics and Schizophrenia.

David L. Braff has researched Prepulse inhibition in several fields, including Internal medicine, Startle response, Habituation, Moro reflex and Antipsychotic. The concepts of his Schizophrenia study are interwoven with issues in Neurocognitive, Stimulation, Serotonergic and Electroencephalography. His Audiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Recall, Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms, Corneal reflex, Schizotypal personality disorder and Alogia.

His most cited work include:

  • Neurocognitive Deficits and Functional Outcome in Schizophrenia: Are We Measuring the “Right Stuff”? (2412 citations)
  • Human studies of prepulse inhibition of startle: normal subjects, patient groups, and pharmacological studies. (1528 citations)
  • Pharmacological studies of prepulse inhibition models of sensorimotor gating deficits in schizophrenia: a decade in review. (1293 citations)

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

David L. Braff mainly focuses on Schizophrenia, Psychosis, Psychiatry, Cognition and Neuroscience. His study in Prepulse inhibition and Endophenotype is carried out as part of his Schizophrenia studies. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Internal medicine, Startle response, Habituation, Moro reflex and Sensory gating.

His Psychosis research includes elements of Cognitive disorder and Antipsychotic. His Psychiatry study combines topics in areas such as Young adult and Psychometrics, Clinical psychology. His studies deal with areas such as Cognitive psychology and Mismatch negativity as well as Cognition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Schizophrenia (50.57%)
  • Psychosis (30.00%)
  • Psychiatry (30.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Schizophrenia (50.57%)
  • Endophenotype (30.00%)
  • Cognition (33.71%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Schizophrenia, Endophenotype, Cognition, Psychiatry and Neuroscience. His Schizophrenia research incorporates themes from Mismatch negativity, Electroencephalography, Psychosocial, Verbal learning and Veterans Affairs. The various areas that he examines in his Endophenotype study include Young adult, Genetics, Neurocognitive and Clinical psychology.

His biological study deals with issues like Psychosis, which deal with fields such as Biomarker. His studies in Cognition integrate themes in fields like Sensory system and Audiology. His studies examine the connections between Neuroscience and genetics, as well as such issues in Sensorimotor Gating, with regards to Moro reflex and Brain circuitry.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Spatial and Temporal Mapping of De Novo Mutations in Schizophrenia to a Fetal Prefrontal Cortical Network (399 citations)
  • Automatic sensory information processing abnormalities across the illness course of schizophrenia. (141 citations)
  • Characterization of Neurophysiologic and Neurocognitive Biomarkers for Use in Genomic and Clinical Outcome Studies of Schizophrenia (134 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Schizophrenia
  • Neuroscience

David L. Braff spends much of his time researching Endophenotype, Schizophrenia, Genetics, Neurocognitive and Cognition. David L. Braff has included themes like Cognitive psychology, Prepulse inhibition, Psychiatric genetics and Heritability in his Endophenotype study. David L. Braff usually deals with Prepulse inhibition and limits it to topics linked to Sensory gating and Brain circuitry, Moro reflex and Sensorimotor Gating.

His Schizophrenia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mismatch negativity, Neuroscience, P3a and Electroencephalography. In his study, Audiology is strongly linked to Event-related potential, which falls under the umbrella field of Mismatch negativity. David L. Braff interconnects Schizophrenia and Psychopathology in the investigation of issues within Neurocognitive.
