What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Cognition
- Neuroscience
- Social psychology
Leah H. Somerville mostly deals with Prefrontal cortex, Neuroscience, Developmental psychology, Amygdala and Cognition.
In her research, Leah H. Somerville undertakes multidisciplinary study on Prefrontal cortex and Ventral striatum.
She focuses mostly in the field of Neuroscience, narrowing it down to matters related to Anxiety and, in some cases, Neuroimaging, Emotionality, Stria terminalis, Vigilance and Insula.
Her Developmental psychology study spans across into fields like Human factors and ergonomics, Suicide prevention and Injury prevention.
Leah H. Somerville interconnects Contextual Associations, Facial expression and Ventromedial prefrontal cortex in the investigation of issues within Amygdala.
Her biological study deals with issues like Cognitive reframing, which deal with fields such as Context and Cognitive psychology.
Her most cited work include:
- Human Amygdala Responsivity to Masked Fearful Eye Whites (608 citations)
- A time of change: behavioral and neural correlates of adolescent sensitivity to appetitive and aversive environmental cues. (608 citations)
- A Genetic Variant BDNF Polymorphism Alters Extinction Learning in Both Mouse and Human (466 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her main research concerns Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Neuroscience and Prefrontal cortex.
Her Developmental psychology study deals with Neural correlates of consciousness intersecting with Self-control and Inferior frontal gyrus.
The various areas that Leah H. Somerville examines in her Cognitive psychology study include Arousal, Social psychology, Facial expression, Brain mapping and Reinforcement learning.
Her Neuroscience course of study focuses on Anxiety and Functional imaging and Left amygdala.
The Ventromedial prefrontal cortex research Leah H. Somerville does as part of her general Prefrontal cortex study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Ventral striatum and Positive feedback, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
Her studies in Amygdala integrate themes in fields like Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Neuroimaging and Audiology.
She most often published in these fields:
- Developmental psychology (38.30%)
- Cognitive psychology (25.53%)
- Cognition (22.34%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Young adult (14.89%)
- Cognition (22.34%)
- Developmental psychology (38.30%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Young adult, Cognition, Developmental psychology, Control and Cognitive psychology.
Her research integrates issues of Early childhood and Clinical psychology in her study of Young adult.
Her Cognition research integrates issues from Resting state fMRI, Neuroimaging and Audiology.
The various areas that she examines in her Audiology study include Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, Total sleep deprivation, Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and Ventromedial prefrontal cortex.
Her Developmental psychology study overlaps with Injury prevention and Suicide prevention.
Her Cognitive psychology research focuses on Perception and how it connects with Life course approach.
Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- The Lifespan Human Connectome Project in Aging: An overview. (56 citations)
- Dissecting "Peer Presence" and "Decisions" to Deepen Understanding of Peer Influence on Adolescent Risky Choice. (20 citations)
- Developmental patterns of change in the influence of safe and risky peer choices on risky decision-making (12 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Cognition
- Neuroscience
- Social psychology
Leah H. Somerville mainly focuses on Young adult, Cognition, Developmental psychology, PsycINFO and Cognitive psychology.
Much of her study explores Young adult relationship to Clinical psychology.
Her research in the fields of Inhibitory control overlaps with other disciplines such as Conditioning, Value and Action selection.
Her research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Ambiguity and Developmental psychology.
PsycINFO is integrated with Cognitive appraisal, Linguistics, Distancing, Present tense and Construal level theory in her research.
Her Cognitive psychology research includes elements of Perception, Emotion comprehension, Comprehension, Anger and Vocabulary.
