Overview

Lawrence H. Sweet is affiliated with the University of Georgia in the United States and has built a research portfolio focused on neuroscience and medicine, with particular emphasis on cognitive neuroscience and clinical psychology. Their work spans related subfields including cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, experimental and cognitive psychology, and psychiatry and mental health.

Their research primarily explores areas such as neural and behavioral psychology studies, functional brain connectivity, smoking behavior and cessation, heart rate variability and autonomic control, behavioral health and interventions, child and adolescent psychosocial and emotional development, and stress responses involving cortisol.

Several recent publications highlight the scope of their investigations. These include:

  • Delayed Reward Discounting as a Prognostic Factor for Smoking Cessation Treatment Outcome: A Systematic Review, 2021, Nicotine & Tobacco Research
  • Amygdalar Activation as a Neurobiological Marker of Differential Sensitivity in the Effects of Family Rearing Experiences on Socioemotional Adjustment in Youths, 2021, Biological Psychiatry Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging

  • Neuroanatomical foundations of delayed reward discounting decision making II: Evaluation of sulcal morphology and fractal dimensionality, 2022, NeuroImage

Frequent collaborators include James MacKillop with 13 joint works, Michael Amlung with 9, Max M. Owens with 7, Assaf Oshri with 6, and Sabrina K. Syan with 5 coauthored publications.

Publication venues that have featured Lawrence H. Sweet's work multiple times are Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology (5 publications), Nicotine & Tobacco Research (2), Psychiatry Research Neuroimaging (2), Personality Neuroscience (2), and Biological Psychiatry Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging (1).
