Overview

Francis McGlone is affiliated with Liverpool John Moores University in the United Kingdom. Their research focuses primarily on neuroscience and psychology, with a substantial body of work in cognitive neuroscience and social psychology.

McGlone's research topics cover areas such as tactile and sensory interactions, action observation and synchronization, multisensory perception and integration, olfactory and sensory function studies, psychosomatic disorders and their treatments, as well as neural dynamics and brain function and neural and behavioral psychology studies.

Frequent co-authors in McGlone's work include Adarsh Makdani, Susannah C. Walker, Paula D. Trotter, Andrew Marshall, and Håkan Olausson.

McGlone's publications often appear in several recurring venues, notably:

  • Scientific Reports
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences
  • PLoS ONE
  • Neuroscience

Some of the recent papers authored or co-authored by McGlone include:

  • "The body comes first. Embodied reparation and the co-creation of infant bodily-self," 2020, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • "The Effects of Ageing on Tactile Function in Humans," 2021, Neuroscience
  • "Childhood Adversity and Affective Touch Perception: A Comparison of United Kingdom Care Leavers and Non-care Leavers," 2020, Frontiers in Psychology
  • "C-low threshold mechanoafferent targeted dynamic touch modulates stress resilience in rats exposed to chronic mild stress," 2020, European Journal of Neuroscience
  • "The role of C-tactile nerve fibers in human social development," 2021, Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences

In terms of disciplinary focus, McGlone has contributed extensively to neuroscience (64 publications) and psychology (46 publications), with notable emphasis on cognitive neuroscience (48 publications), social psychology (20 publications), experimental and cognitive psychology (19 publications), sensory systems (10 publications), and psychiatry and mental health (9 publications).
