Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Endocrinology

His primary scientific interests are in Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Glucocorticoid receptor, Offspring and DNA methylation. His study in Corticosterone, Hippocampus, Glucocorticoid, Hypothalamus and Hippocampal formation falls under the purview of Endocrinology. His work in Glucocorticoid receptor covers topics such as Hormone which are related to areas like Vasopressin.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Developmental psychology and Neuroscience in addition to Offspring. His biological study deals with issues like Mental health, which deal with fields such as Socioeconomic status, Cognition, Depression and Clinical psychology. His DNA methylation research incorporates themes from Methylation and Epigenetics.

His most cited work include:

  • Epigenetic programming by maternal behavior. (4599 citations)
  • Maternal Care, Hippocampal Glucocorticoid Receptors, and Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Responses to Stress (2655 citations)
  • Epigenetic regulation of the glucocorticoid receptor in human brain associates with childhood abuse (2506 citations)

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

His main research concerns Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Offspring, Developmental psychology and Epigenetics. Glucocorticoid, Glucocorticoid receptor, Corticosterone, Hippocampus and Hippocampal formation are subfields of Endocrinology in which his conducts study. The various areas that Michael J. Meaney examines in his Offspring study include Licking and Physiology.

His Developmental psychology research includes themes of Context, Birth weight, Psychopathology and Cognition. His studies in Epigenetics integrate themes in fields like Phenotype, Epigenesis, DNA methylation and Bioinformatics. His DNA methylation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Methylation and Genotype.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (37.00%)
  • Endocrinology (35.49%)
  • Offspring (22.70%)

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

  • Cohort (14.99%)
  • Clinical psychology (16.37%)
  • Mental health (8.39%)

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

Michael J. Meaney focuses on Cohort, Clinical psychology, Mental health, Epigenetics and Developmental psychology. His Clinical psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Depression and Anxiety. His research in Depression intersects with topics in Offspring and Dopamine.

His study on Epigenetics is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as DNA methylation. He has included themes like Methylation and Genotype in his DNA methylation study. Michael J. Meaney has researched Developmental psychology in several fields, including Context and Cognition.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Treatment resistant depression: A multi-scale, systems biology approach. (155 citations)
  • Environmental enrichment increases transcriptional and epigenetic differentiation between mouse dorsal and ventral dentate gyrus. (56 citations)
  • Estrogen receptor α drives pro-resilient transcription in mouse models of depression. (43 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cohort, Epigenetics, DNA methylation, Clinical psychology and Energy intakes. His study on Cohort also encompasses disciplines like

  • Impulsivity that intertwine with fields like Addiction, Endophenotype, Dementia, Insulin resistance and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,
  • Fetal growth, Sugar intake, Endocrinology, Allele and Dopamine most often made with reference to Intrauterine growth restriction. The Fetal growth study which covers Birth weight that intersects with Internal medicine.

His study in Epigenetics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dentate gyrus, Environmental enrichment and CpG site. In his research, Offspring is intimately related to Brain Structure and Function, which falls under the overarching field of Environmental enrichment. His DNA methylation study incorporates themes from Hippocampal formation, Methylation and Genotype.
