Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Dopamine
  • Enzyme

Joanna S. Fowler focuses on Dopamine, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience and Raclopride. Joanna S. Fowler interconnects Methylphenidate, Addiction and Pharmacology in the investigation of issues within Dopamine. Her Addiction research incorporates themes from Dopaminergic, Nucleus accumbens, Substance abuse and Drug.

Joanna S. Fowler has researched Internal medicine in several fields, including Pathology, Detoxification and Cardiology. Her Raclopride study combines topics in areas such as Distribution Volume, Neurotransmitter and Radioligand. Her research integrates issues of In vivo and Reuptake in her study of Striatum.

Her most cited work include:

  • Brain dopamine and obesity. (1478 citations)
  • Distribution Volume Ratios without Blood Sampling from Graphical Analysis of PET Data (1270 citations)
  • Graphical analysis of reversible radioligand binding from time-activity measurements applied to [N-11C-methyl]-(-)-cocaine PET studies in human subjects (1230 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Dopamine, Pharmacology and Human brain. Joanna S. Fowler works mostly in the field of Internal medicine, limiting it down to topics relating to Positron emission tomography and, in certain cases, Brain positron emission tomography. Her Baboon, Carbohydrate metabolism and Cerebellum study in the realm of Endocrinology connects with subjects such as Vorozole.

Her Dopamine course of study focuses on Methylphenidate and Stimulant. Her Pharmacology research incorporates themes from Dopamine transporter, In vivo and Monoamine oxidase. Her studies deal with areas such as Methamphetamine and Nucleus accumbens as well as Striatum.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (34.01%)
  • Endocrinology (32.56%)
  • Dopamine (27.03%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Endocrinology (32.56%)
  • Internal medicine (34.01%)
  • Dopamine (27.03%)

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

Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Dopamine, Raclopride and Pharmacology are her primary areas of study. Joanna S. Fowler frequently studies issues relating to Human brain and Endocrinology. The Internal medicine study which covers Craving that intersects with Cognitive inhibition.

Her study in Dopamine is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Psychiatry, Methylphenidate and Putamen. Her Raclopride research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dopamine Uptake Inhibitors, Ventral striatum and Dopamine receptor D3. The Pharmacology study combines topics in areas such as Receptor, Biodistribution, In vivo and Radioligand.

Between 2010 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Addiction: Beyond dopamine reward circuitry (601 citations)
  • Addiction circuitry in the human brain. (381 citations)
  • Food and drug reward: overlapping circuits in human obesity and addiction. (366 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme
  • Dopamine

Her primary areas of study are Dopamine, Raclopride, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Methylphenidate. Her study with Dopamine involves better knowledge in Neuroscience. Her Raclopride study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ventral striatum and Dopamine receptor D3.

The study of Internal medicine is intertwined with the study of Addiction in a number of ways. Joanna S. Fowler has included themes like Alcohol, Alcohol detoxification and Ethanol in her Endocrinology study. Joanna S. Fowler focuses mostly in the field of Methylphenidate, narrowing it down to topics relating to Stimulant and, in certain cases, Basal ganglia and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
