Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics

Gunter Schumann focuses on Neuroscience, Psychiatry, Genome-wide association study, Basal ganglia and Schizophrenia. His work in Neuroscience is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Autism. The Mental health research Gunter Schumann does as part of his general Psychiatry study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Demography, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His Genome-wide association study study combines Genetics and Gene studies. His Gene research integrates issues from Nerve net, Functional networks and Ion channel. His Basal ganglia study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Caudate nucleus, Ventral striatum and Putamen.

His most cited work include:

  • Amygdala-prefrontal coupling depends on a genetic variation of the serotonin transporter (623 citations)
  • Common genetic variants influence human subcortical brain structures. (610 citations)
  • Identification of common variants associated with human hippocampal and intracranial volumes (511 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Clinical psychology, Genetics, Developmental psychology and Neuroimaging. His Neuroscience research focuses on Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Ventral striatum, Addiction, Nucleus accumbens and Dopaminergic. Gunter Schumann usually deals with Clinical psychology and limits it to topics linked to Cognition and Cognitive psychology.

His work carried out in the field of Developmental psychology brings together such families of science as Prefrontal cortex and Amygdala. His studies in Genome-wide association study integrate themes in fields like Schizophrenia, Genetic association and Genetic architecture. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Internal medicine, Allele and Endocrinology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (21.18%)
  • Clinical psychology (17.88%)
  • Genetics (16.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Clinical psychology (17.88%)
  • Cognition (15.06%)
  • Cohort (9.88%)

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

His main research concerns Clinical psychology, Cognition, Cohort, Psychopathology and Neuroimaging. His Clinical psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Personality, Grey matter, Depression, Cannabis and Amygdala. His research in Cognition intersects with topics in Neuroimaging genetics, Longitudinal study, Big Five personality traits and Impulsivity.

The various areas that he examines in his Psychopathology study include Young adult, Neural correlates of consciousness and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Gunter Schumann has researched Conduct disorder in several fields, including Autism and Neuroscience. Gunter Schumann has included themes like Brain morphometry and Genome-wide association study in his Neuroscience study.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The genetic architecture of the human cerebral cortex. (116 citations)
  • ENIGMA and global neuroscience: A decade of large-scale studies of the brain in health and disease across more than 40 countries (97 citations)
  • ENIGMA and global neuroscience: A decade of large-scale studies of the brain in health and disease across more than 40 countries (97 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics

Gunter Schumann mainly investigates Clinical psychology, Cognition, Impulsivity, Cohort and MEDLINE. The study incorporates disciplines such as Neuropsychology, Neuroimaging and Brain size in addition to Clinical psychology. His Cognition research includes themes of Cognitive psychology, Facial expression and Reinforcement.

Gunter Schumann combines subjects such as Alcohol abuse, Anticipation, Binge drinking, Functional neuroimaging and Latent growth modeling with his study of Impulsivity. Lateral ventricles is a subfield of Neuroscience that Gunter Schumann investigates. Neuroscience is closely attributed to Genetic variation in his work.
