Overview

Katya Rubia is affiliated with King's College London in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on the neuroscience and medicine fields, with significant contributions to cognitive neuroscience and psychiatry and mental health. Other subfields of study include neurology, clinical psychology, and experimental and cognitive psychology.

The main topics of their work include Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), functional brain connectivity studies, and neural and behavioral psychology studies. They have also contributed to research on transcranial magnetic stimulation, autism spectrum disorder, heart rate variability and autonomic control, as well as advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications.

Rubia has published frequently in several scientific journals. Key publication venues include:

  • Biological Psychiatry
  • Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • Molecular Psychiatry
  • NeuroImage Clinical
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Selected recent papers illustrate the scope of their work:

  • The World Federation of ADHD International Consensus Statement: 208 Evidence-based conclusions about the disorder, 2021, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • Consensus on the reporting and experimental design of clinical and cognitive-behavioural neurofeedback studies (CRED-nf checklist), 2020, Brain
  • Comparative meta-analyses of brain structural and functional abnormalities during cognitive control in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder, 2020, Psychological Medicine
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, 2024, Nature Reviews Disease Primers
