John Francis William Deakin

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Internal medicine
• Neuroscience
• Major depressive disorder

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Orbitofrontal cortex, Hippocampus, Hippocampal formation and Endocrinology. John Francis William Deakin has included themes like Glutamate receptor, Psychosis and Monoaminergic in his Neuroscience study. His Monoaminergic research includes elements of Methamphetamine, Amphetamine, Dopamine, Neuromodulation and Opiate.

His Orbitofrontal cortex study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Stimulus, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Impulsivity and Brain mapping. In his research, Bioinformatics and Pharmacology toxicology is intimately related to Psychiatry, which falls under the overarching field of Hippocampus. His Hippocampal formation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nitric oxide synthase, Gene expression, In situ hybridization, NMDA receptor and Citalopram.

His most cited work include:

• Dissociable deficits in the decision-making cognition of chronic amphetamine abusers, opiate abusers, patients with focal damage to prefrontal cortex, and tryptophan-depleted normal volunteers: evidence for monoaminergic mechanisms. (906 citations)
• Neuronal correlates of theory of mind and empathy: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study in a nonverbal task (767 citations)
• Response inhibition and impulsivity: an fMRI study (480 citations)

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

John Francis William Deakin mainly investigates Neuroscience, Psychiatry, Schizophrenia, Internal medicine and Clinical psychology. His Neuroscience study focuses mostly on Orbitofrontal cortex, Amygdala, Hippocampus, Basal ganglia and Nucleus accumbens. His Orbitofrontal cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Impulsivity and Brain mapping.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Neuropsychology, Audiology, Electroencephalography, Working memory and Psychosis in addition to Schizophrenia. John Francis William Deakin studied Internal medicine and Endocrinology that intersect with Receptor and Glutamate receptor. John Francis William Deakin works mostly in the field of Clinical psychology, limiting it down to topics relating to Depression and, in certain cases, Young adult, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

• Neuroscience (34.31%)
• Psychiatry (23.36%)
• Schizophrenia (20.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

• Clinical psychology (14.60%)
• Depression (14.60%)
• Schizophrenia (20.44%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Clinical psychology, Depression, Schizophrenia, Psychiatry and Major depressive disorder. His Rumination study in the realm of Depression connects with subjects such as Signature. John Francis William Deakin focuses mostly in the field of Schizophrenia, narrowing it down to matters related to Working memory and, in some cases, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance and Audiology.

The concepts of his Psychiatry study are interwoven with issues in Healthy volunteers and Neuroscience. His Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Forearm skin and Serotonin. His research in Major depressive disorder focuses on subjects like Cingulate cortex, which are connected to Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Psychological resilience, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Blame.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Collaborative meta-analysis finds no evidence of a strong interaction between stress and 5-HTTLPR genotype contributing to the development of depression (154 citations)
• Minocycline as an adjunct for treatment-resistant depressive symptoms: A pilot randomised placebo-controlled trial (56 citations)
• The relationship between negative symptoms and depression in schizophrenia: a systematic review (45 citations)

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

• Internal medicine
• Major depressive disorder
• Psychiatry

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Clinical psychology, Stressor, Addiction and Depression. Neuroscience is closely attributed to Forearm skin in his study. His work deals with themes such as Gene–environment interaction and Risk factor, which intersect with Clinical psychology.

His Stressor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of 5-HTTLPR, Epigenetics, Gene, Candidate gene and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His studies deal with areas such as Substantia nigra, Amphetamine, Nucleus accumbens, Dopamine and Reward system as well as Addiction. His work on Depressive symptoms as part of general Depression research is frequently linked to Clinical Global Impression, Adjunct and Placebo-controlled study, bridging the gap between disciplines.
