Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine

Her primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Amygdala, Cognition, Facial expression and Prefrontal cortex. The study incorporates disciplines such as Psychosis and Schizophrenia in addition to Neuroscience. Her Amygdala research incorporates elements of Hippocampus, Arousal, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Thalamus.

She combines subjects such as Anxiety, Cognitive psychology, Audiology and Electroencephalography with her study of Cognition. Her work carried out in the field of Facial expression brings together such families of science as Developmental psychology, Visual search, Perception and Stimulus. Her studies deal with areas such as Extinction, Visual cortex and Limbic system as well as Prefrontal cortex.

Her most cited work include:

  • A direct brainstem–amygdala–cortical ‘alarm’ system for subliminal signals of fear (506 citations)
  • A direct brainstem–amygdala–cortical ‘alarm’ system for subliminal signals of fear (506 citations)
  • Interactions between BDNF Val66Met polymorphism and early life stress predict brain and arousal pathways to syndromal depression and anxiety (442 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Cognition, Clinical psychology, Neuroscience, Psychiatry and Depression. Leanne M. Williams interconnects Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology, Audiology and Electroencephalography in the investigation of issues within Cognition. As a part of the same scientific family, Leanne M. Williams mostly works in the field of Audiology, focusing on Psychosis and, on occasion, First episode.

Her Clinical psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Major depressive disorder and Anxiety. Her work in Amygdala, Prefrontal cortex, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Brain mapping and Arousal are all subfields of Neuroscience research. Her Amygdala research integrates issues from Anterior cingulate cortex, Hippocampus and Functional imaging.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cognition (42.98%)
  • Clinical psychology (38.46%)
  • Neuroscience (29.93%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Depression (28.43%)
  • Cognition (42.98%)
  • Clinical psychology (38.46%)

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

Her main research concerns Depression, Cognition, Clinical psychology, Anxiety and Major depressive disorder. Her Depression study is associated with Psychiatry. Leanne M. Williams has researched Cognition in several fields, including Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Audiology and Salience.

The various areas that Leanne M. Williams examines in her Clinical psychology study include Cognitive behavioral therapy and Generalizability theory. In her research on the topic of Major depressive disorder, Oncology is strongly related with Internal medicine. Her Default mode network study introduces a deeper knowledge of Neuroscience.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Intrinsic connectomes are a predictive biomarker of remission in major depressive disorder. (32 citations)
  • Intrinsic connectomes are a predictive biomarker of remission in major depressive disorder. (32 citations)
  • Intrinsic connectomes are a predictive biomarker of remission in major depressive disorder. (32 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience

Leanne M. Williams focuses on Major depressive disorder, Depression, Cognition, Antidepressant and Default mode network. Her studies in Major depressive disorder integrate themes in fields like Escitalopram, Orbitofrontal cortex, Anxiety, Internal medicine and Sertraline. Her Anxiety research is included under the broader classification of Psychiatry.

Her Depression research incorporates themes from Body mass index, Physical therapy, Intervention and Clinical psychology. Within one scientific family, Leanne M. Williams focuses on topics pertaining to Functional magnetic resonance imaging under Cognition, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Audiology. Her Default mode network study is concerned with the larger field of Neuroscience.
