Gary H. Duncan

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Internal medicine
• Neuroscience
• Surgery

Gary H. Duncan mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Sensory system, Anterior cingulate cortex, Somatosensory system and Somatosensory evoked potential. His studies in Brain mapping, Relaxation and Working memory are all subfields of Neuroscience research. His Sensory system research includes themes of Stimulus and Heat pain.

His Stimulus study incorporates themes from Analysis of variance and Sensation. His Anterior cingulate cortex research integrates issues from Secondary somatosensory cortex, Insular cortex and Thalamus. The concepts of his Somatosensory evoked potential study are interwoven with issues in Cerebral cortex and Cingulate cortex.

His most cited work include:

• Pain affect encoded in human anterior cingulate but not somatosensory cortex. (2106 citations)
• A general statistical analysis for fMRI data. (1048 citations)
• MULTIPLE REPRESENTATIONS OF PAIN IN HUMAN CEREBRAL CORTEX (880 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Stimulus, Sensory system, Somatosensory system and Audiology. Gary H. Duncan performs integrative study on Neuroscience and Noxious stimulus in his works. His Stimulus study also includes fields such as

• Discriminative model most often made with reference to Psychophysics,
• Premovement neuronal activity that connect with fields like Receptive field.

His studies deal with areas such as Medullary cavity, Heat pain and Dorsum as well as Sensory system. His research in Somatosensory system focuses on subjects like Somatosensory evoked potential, which are connected to Cingulate cortex. His Audiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Developmental psychology, Stimulation, Perception and Sensation.

He most often published in these fields:

• Neuroscience (52.56%)
• Stimulus (32.05%)
• Sensory system (25.64%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2015)?

• Neuroscience (52.56%)
• Cognition (11.54%)
• Somatosensory system (19.23%)

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

Neuroscience, Cognition, Somatosensory system, Stimulus and Primary motor cortex are his primary areas of study. His research in the fields of Secondary somatosensory cortex, Insula and Dopamine overlaps with other disciplines such as Competition and Simple. His study on Secondary somatosensory cortex is covered under Sensory system.

His study in Somatosensory system is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Anterior cingulate cortex and Functional magnetic resonance imaging. His work deals with themes such as Cerebral cortex, Brain morphometry and Brain activity and meditation, which intersect with Anterior cingulate cortex. His studies in Stimulus integrate themes in fields like Developmental psychology, Discriminative model, Principal component analysis and Psychophysics.

Between 2005 and 2015, his most popular works were:

• Cortical Thickness and Pain Sensitivity in Zen Meditators (240 citations)
• The Anatomy of the Mesolimbic Reward System: A Link between Personality and the Placebo Analgesic Response (156 citations)
• Brain activity associated with the electrodermal reactivity to acute heat pain. (94 citations)

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

• Internal medicine
• Neuroscience
• Surgery

Gary H. Duncan mainly investigates Neuroscience, Insula, Secondary somatosensory cortex, Anterior cingulate cortex and Sensory system. In his works, he undertakes multidisciplinary study on Neuroscience and Parahippocampal gyrus. His work on Anterior cingulate cortex is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Somatosensory system.

His work carried out in the field of Dopamine brings together such families of science as Prefrontal cortex, Reward system and Limbic system. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Insular cortex and Visual memory. He performs multidisciplinary study on Orbitofrontal cortex and Noxious stimulus in his works.
