Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Neuroscience

His primary areas of investigation include Psychosis, Neuroscience, Sensory gating, Nicotinic agonist and Schizophrenia. His Psychosis research includes themes of Genetics, Clinical psychology, Audiology and Nicotine. His Sensory gating study combines topics in areas such as Stimulus, Clozapine, Sensory system and Schizophrenic Psychology.

His research integrates issues of Endocrinology, Cholinergic and Acetylcholine receptor in his study of Nicotinic agonist. His work carried out in the field of Endocrinology brings together such families of science as Core, Shivering and Human brain. His work in Schizophrenia tackles topics such as Sensory processing which are related to areas like Sensory stimulation therapy.

His most cited work include:

  • Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci (4834 citations)
  • Genetic relationship between five psychiatric disorders estimated from genome-wide SNPs (1570 citations)
  • Genome-wide association study identifies five new schizophrenia loci (1474 citations)

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

Robert Freedman mainly investigates Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Psychosis and Schizophrenia. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential is strongly linked to Nicotinic agonist. His studies in Psychosis integrate themes in fields like Genetics, Smooth pursuit and Nicotine.

His Schizophrenia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Offspring and Proband. His study looks at the relationship between Sensory gating and topics such as Audiology, which overlap with Developmental psychology. His work carried out in the field of Gating brings together such families of science as Stimulus and Evoked potential.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (37.19%)
  • Internal medicine (29.06%)
  • Endocrinology (25.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Schizophrenia (22.19%)
  • Psychiatry (14.69%)
  • Genetics (13.28%)

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

Robert Freedman spends much of his time researching Schizophrenia, Psychiatry, Genetics, Endophenotype and Pregnancy. The Schizophrenia study combines topics in areas such as Bipolar disorder, Hippocampus, Neuroscience and Nicotinic agonist. His research investigates the link between Psychiatry and topics such as Clinical psychology that cross with problems in Schizophrenic Psychology.

His Cohort research extends to Genetics, which is thematically connected. His research integrates issues of Proband, Young adult, Schizophrenia, Heritability and Neurocognitive in his study of Endophenotype. His studies deal with areas such as Disease and Genetic association as well as Psychiatric genetics.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci (4834 citations)
  • Genetic relationship between five psychiatric disorders estimated from genome-wide SNPs (1570 citations)
  • Modeling Linkage Disequilibrium Increases Accuracy of Polygenic Risk Scores (575 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Psychiatry

His primary scientific interests are in Schizophrenia, Genetics, Psychiatry, Endophenotype and Genome-wide association study. His Schizophrenia study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hippocampus, Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Sensory gating is the focus of his Neuroscience research.

Robert Freedman combines subjects such as Psychological resilience and Clinical psychology with his study of Psychiatry. His research on Endophenotype also deals with topics like

  • Neurocognitive which connect with Episodic memory, Nicotinic agonist and Acetylcholine receptor,
  • Heritability which connect with Proband, Prepulse inhibition and Cognitive psychology,
  • Genotyping, SNP array, DISC1, Candidate gene and Social cognition most often made with reference to Genetic architecture. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Odds ratio, Bipolar disorder and Case-control study.
