Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Internal medicine

Mark E. Walton mostly deals with Anterior cingulate cortex, Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Frontal lobe and Prefrontal cortex. His Anterior cingulate cortex research incorporates themes from Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Human brain, Medial frontal cortex, Brain mapping and Functional specialization. His research in Functional specialization intersects with topics in Interference theory, Consumer neuroscience, Ventromedial prefrontal cortex and Emotional lateralization.

His work on Cortex as part of general Neuroscience study is frequently connected to Psychophysics and Population, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Mark E. Walton has researched Cognitive psychology in several fields, including Working memory, Brain research and Orbitofrontal cortex. His studies in Frontal lobe integrate themes in fields like Developmental psychology, Dorsum and Cingulate cortex.

His most cited work include:

  • Learning the value of information in an uncertain world (1280 citations)
  • Action sets and decisions in the medial frontal cortex (861 citations)
  • Frontal cortex and reward-guided learning and decision-making. (737 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Anterior cingulate cortex, Dopamine and Orbitofrontal cortex. His work in Nucleus accumbens, Frontal lobe, Prefrontal cortex, Working memory and Medial frontal cortex is related to Neuroscience. His Frontal lobe study which covers Dorsum that intersects with Volition.

His Cognitive psychology research includes elements of T-maze, Stimulus, Ventromedial prefrontal cortex, Hippocampal formation and Reinforcement. His Anterior cingulate cortex study also includes fields such as

  • Functional specialization, which have a strong connection to Interference theory,
  • Human brain which connect with Functional magnetic resonance imaging. His research investigates the connection between Orbitofrontal cortex and topics such as Cingulate cortex that intersect with issues in Cognition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (75.51%)
  • Cognitive psychology (30.61%)
  • Anterior cingulate cortex (28.57%)

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

  • Neuroscience (75.51%)
  • Dopamine (23.47%)
  • Orbitofrontal cortex (29.59%)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Dopamine, Orbitofrontal cortex, Nucleus accumbens and Dopaminergic. His study in the field of Cingulate cortex is also linked to topics like Lesion. Mark E. Walton has included themes like Reward processing and Midbrain in his Dopamine study.

Mark E. Walton combines subjects such as Amygdala, Sensory system and Thalamus with his study of Orbitofrontal cortex. Mark E. Walton focuses mostly in the field of Nucleus accumbens, narrowing it down to topics relating to Amphetamine and, in certain cases, Sensory cue, Neuroimaging and Salience. He studied Dopaminergic and Stimulus that intersect with Raclopride, Extracellular dopamine, Human brain and Dopamine metabolism.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • What Is the Relationship between Dopamine and Effort (37 citations)
  • Dual contributions of noradrenaline to behavioural flexibility and motivation (20 citations)
  • Time-dependent assessment of stimulus-evoked regional dopamine release. (19 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Dopamine

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Dopamine, Striatum, Orbitofrontal cortex and Dopaminergic. He undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Neuroscience and Dual through his works. His work carried out in the field of Dopamine brings together such families of science as Sensory cue, Neuroimaging and Salience.

Mark E. Walton combines topics linked to Cognitive psychology with his work on Striatum. His Orbitofrontal cortex research includes themes of Cingulate cortex, Central nervous system, Macaque, Discrimination learning and Functional magnetic resonance imaging. His work carried out in the field of Dopaminergic brings together such families of science as Medium spiny neuron and Midbrain.
