What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Cognition
- Neuroscience
- Social psychology
His main research concerns Neuroscience, Classical conditioning, Nucleus accumbens, Basal ganglia and Amygdala.
He is involved in the study of Neuroscience that focuses on Ventral striatum in particular.
His Classical conditioning research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Central nucleus of the amygdala, Amphetamine and Anterior cingulate cortex.
His work deals with themes such as Developmental psychology, Dextroamphetamine, Stimulant and Brain mapping, which intersect with Nucleus accumbens.
His study of Basolateral amygdala is a part of Amygdala.
His study looks at the relationship between Basolateral amygdala and topics such as Orbitofrontal cortex, which overlap with Insular cortex and Infralimbic cortex.
His most cited work include:
- Emotion and motivation: the role of the amygdala, ventral striatum, and prefrontal cortex (1724 citations)
- Chemical Analysis of Ecological Materials. (1318 citations)
- Associative processes in addiction and reward. The role of amygdala-ventral striatal subsystems (610 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Classical conditioning, Amygdala and Nucleus accumbens.
His Cognitive psychology study combines topics in areas such as Cognition, Orbitofrontal cortex, Affect and Nonverbal communication.
His Classical conditioning research incorporates elements of Stimulus, Anterior cingulate cortex, Central nucleus of the amygdala and Reinforcement.
His study in Central nucleus of the amygdala is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Infralimbic cortex and Insular cortex.
His Basolateral amygdala study, which is part of a larger body of work in Amygdala, is frequently linked to Subiculum, bridging the gap between disciplines.
The concepts of his Nucleus accumbens study are interwoven with issues in Lesion, Nucleus, Brain mapping and Heroin.
He most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (42.42%)
- Cognitive psychology (28.79%)
- Classical conditioning (27.27%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Criminology (3.03%)
- Context (6.06%)
- Happiness (3.03%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
John A. Parkinson spends much of his time researching Criminology, Context, Happiness, Stakeholder and Intervention.
His study on Prison and Violent crime is often connected to Victimisation and Seriousness as part of broader study in Criminology.
There are a combination of areas like Evidence-based practice, Focus group, Public relations, Grey literature and Stakeholder engagement integrated together with his Context study.
His research in Happiness intersects with topics in Taste, Impulsivity, Sensory system and Working hypothesis.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Developmental psychology and Emotional Stroop test.
His Psychological intervention study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Positive psychology, Transformative learning, Optimism and Clinical psychology.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Efficacy of the attention control training program on reducing attentional bias in obese and overweight dieters. (52 citations)
- Intimate Partner Homicide in England and Wales 2011–2013: Pathways to Prediction from Multi-agency Domestic Homicide Reviews (14 citations)
- Do Gang Injunctions Reduce Violent Crime? Four Tests in Merseyside, UK (9 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Cognition

- Social psychology
His primary areas of study are Criminology, Seriousness, Harm, Victimisation and Violent crime.
John A. Parkinson has researched Criminology in several fields, including Psychiatry and Substance abuse.
In his study, John A. Parkinson carries out multidisciplinary Seriousness and Prison research.
