Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine
  • Health care

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Chronic pain, Anterior cingulate cortex, Sensory system and Insula. Neuroscience is a component of her Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Somatosensory system, Cingulate cortex, Brain mapping and Stimulation studies. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Temporoparietal junction and Magnetic resonance imaging.

Her research integrates issues of Trigeminal neuralgia, Neuroimaging and Fibromyalgia in her study of Chronic pain. Her Sensory system research incorporates elements of Stimulus and Cortex. Her Insula study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Irritable bowel syndrome and Threshold of pain.

Her most cited work include:

  • A multimodal cortical network for the detection of changes in the sensory environment. (825 citations)
  • A multimodal cortical network for the detection of changes in the sensory environment. (825 citations)
  • Pain-related neurons in the human cingulate cortex. (529 citations)

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

Karen D. Davis spends much of her time researching Neuroscience, Chronic pain, Health care, Anesthesia and Neuroimaging. Her study in Sensory system, Thalamus, Anterior cingulate cortex, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Insula is carried out as part of her studies in Neuroscience. Her Sensory system study incorporates themes from Somatosensory system and Brain mapping.

Her study in Chronic pain is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Neuropathic pain, Internal medicine and Default mode network. Her Anesthesia study combines topics in areas such as Tonic and Sensation. The concepts of her Neuroimaging study are interwoven with issues in White matter, Neuroplasticity and Brain activity and meditation.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (53.99%)
  • Chronic pain (31.69%)
  • Health care (11.03%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Chronic pain (31.69%)
  • Default mode network (14.32%)
  • Neuropathic pain (12.91%)

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

Karen D. Davis mainly focuses on Chronic pain, Default mode network, Neuropathic pain, Neuroscience and Connectome. Her work deals with themes such as Insula, MEDLINE, Anterior cingulate cortex, Magnetic resonance imaging and Machine learning, which intersect with Chronic pain. Her research on Anterior cingulate cortex also deals with topics like

  • White matter and Orbitofrontal cortex most often made with reference to Precuneus,
  • Internal medicine that connect with fields like Gastroenterology, Attendance and Pain relief.

The various areas that Karen D. Davis examines in her Default mode network study include Ankylosing spondylitis, Resting state fMRI, Dynamic functional connectivity and Posterior cingulate. Karen D. Davis combines subjects such as Ketamine, Neuroimaging, Trigeminal neuralgia, Multiple sclerosis and Neuroplasticity with her study of Neuropathic pain. Karen D. Davis incorporates Neuroscience and Nociceptive processing in her studies.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The IASP classification of chronic pain for ICD-11: chronic neuropathic pain. (170 citations)
  • The IASP classification of chronic pain for ICD-11: chronic neuropathic pain. (170 citations)
  • Discovery and validation of biomarkers to aid the development of safe and effective pain therapeutics: challenges and opportunities. (53 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Health care
  • Law

Chronic pain, Default mode network, Neuropathic pain, Neuroscience and Connectome are her primary areas of study. Her Chronic pain research integrates issues from Analgesic, Intensive care medicine, Patient advocacy, Government and Functional neuroimaging. Karen D. Davis has included themes like Machine learning, Resting state fMRI, Posterior cingulate and Artificial intelligence in her Default mode network study.

The Resting state fMRI study combines topics in areas such as Pathological, Brain activity and meditation, Thalamus and Magnetoencephalography. Her studies deal with areas such as Magnetic resonance imaging, Multiple sclerosis and Dynamic functional connectivity as well as Neuropathic pain. Her biological study focuses on Insula.
