Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Dopamine
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience

Mercè Correa mainly focuses on Nucleus accumbens, Neuroscience, Dopamine, Behavioral activation and Appetite. Her Nucleus accumbens study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Reward system, Adenosine A2A receptor, Reinforcement and Pharmacology. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Neuroscience, Parkinsonism, Mesolimbic dopamine and Similarity is strongly linked to Schizophrenia.

Her Dopamine research includes elements of Basal ganglia, Cognition, Adenosine and Amygdala. Her study in Behavioral activation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Forebrain and Dopaminergic. In her research on the topic of Appetite, Limbic system is strongly related with Substance abuse.

Her most cited work include:

  • The mysterious motivational functions of mesolimbic dopamine. (815 citations)
  • The mysterious motivational functions of mesolimbic dopamine. (815 citations)
  • Effort-related functions of nucleus accumbens dopamine and associated forebrain circuits. (781 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Dopamine, Pharmacology, Neuroscience, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. Her studies in Dopamine integrate themes in fields like Basal ganglia and Reinforcement. Her Pharmacology research includes themes of Ethanol, Adenosine, Antagonist, Eticlopride and Antidepressant.

Her Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Parkinson's disease and Parkinsonism. Her work on Dopamine receptor, Inverse agonist and AM251 as part of general Internal medicine study is frequently linked to Fixed ratio, bridging the gap between disciplines. Mercè Correa interconnects Analysis of variance, Reward system, Appetite, Neurochemical and Mesolimbic dopamine in the investigation of issues within Nucleus accumbens.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Dopamine (79.67%)
  • Pharmacology (63.19%)
  • Neuroscience (45.05%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Dopamine (79.67%)
  • Pharmacology (63.19%)
  • Tetrabenazine (29.12%)

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

Mercè Correa mostly deals with Dopamine, Pharmacology, Tetrabenazine, Caffeine and Nucleus accumbens. Her Dopamine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Schizophrenia, Prefrontal cortex and Reinforcement. Her research in Reinforcement intersects with topics in Haloperidol, Behavioral activation and Neuroscience, Affect.

Her work deals with themes such as Young adult and Anxiety, which intersect with Neuroscience. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ethanol, Adenosine and Conditioned place preference. Her Nucleus accumbens study deals with Microdialysis intersecting with Effective dose.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Dopamine, Effort-Based Choice, and Behavioral Economics: Basic and Translational Research. (48 citations)
  • The Psychopharmacology of Effort-Related Decision Making: Dopamine, Adenosine, and Insights into the Neurochemistry of Motivation (33 citations)
  • Caffeine and Selective Adenosine Receptor Antagonists as New Therapeutic Tools for the Motivational Symptoms of Depression (33 citations)

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

  • Dopamine
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience

Her primary scientific interests are in Dopamine, Pharmacology, Adenosine receptor, Caffeine and Tetrabenazine. The various areas that Mercè Correa examines in her Dopamine study include Cognitive psychology, Schizophrenia, Reinforcement and Optogenetics. Her research investigates the connection with Schizophrenia and areas like Disease which intersect with concerns in Neuroscience.

Her Neuroscience study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Adenosine A2A receptor and Social behavior. Her research in Pharmacology focuses on subjects like Nucleus accumbens, which are connected to Appetite. The study incorporates disciplines such as Antidepressant, Animal models of depression and Endocrinology, Adenosine in addition to Adenosine receptor.
