Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Major depressive disorder
  • Neuroscience

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Docosahexaenoic acid, Neuroscience and Major depressive disorder. His research in Endocrinology tackles topics such as 5-HT receptor which are related to areas like alpha-Linolenic acid, Dopamine receptor, Antipsychotic and Dopamine receptor D2. His Docosahexaenoic acid research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Unsaturated fatty acid, Neurocognitive and Anxiety.

His research integrates issues of Eicosapentaenoic acid and Saturated fatty acid in his study of Unsaturated fatty acid. His work on Morris water navigation task as part of general Neuroscience research is frequently linked to Wild type, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Major depressive disorder research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Schizophrenia, Neurotransmitter, Bipolar disorder, Mood and Antidepressant.

His most cited work include:

  • Role for neuronally derived fractalkine in mediating interactions between neurons and CX3CR1-expressing microglia (880 citations)
  • Role of omega-3 fatty acids in brain development and function: Potential implications for the pathogenesis and prevention of psychopathology (402 citations)
  • The neuropharmacological and neurochemical basis of place learning in the Morris water maze (380 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Docosahexaenoic acid, Fatty acid and Polyunsaturated fatty acid. His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Psychosis, Biochemistry, alpha-Linolenic acid, Major depressive disorder and Omega 3 fatty acid. His Major depressive disorder study combines topics in areas such as Antidepressant, Bipolar disorder and Risk factor.

His work on Amphetamine, Dopamine and Hippocampal formation as part of general Endocrinology study is frequently linked to Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Docosahexaenoic acid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Eicosapentaenoic acid, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Neuroscience and Unsaturated fatty acid. His study in Polyunsaturated fatty acid is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Oleic acid and Linoleic acid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (48.96%)
  • Endocrinology (40.62%)
  • Docosahexaenoic acid (33.85%)

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

  • Internal medicine (48.96%)
  • Docosahexaenoic acid (33.85%)
  • Polyunsaturated fatty acid (18.75%)

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

Internal medicine, Docosahexaenoic acid, Polyunsaturated fatty acid, Omega 3 fatty acid and Endocrinology are his primary areas of study. Robert K. McNamara combines subjects such as Bipolar disorder, Risperidone and Psychosis with his study of Internal medicine. His Docosahexaenoic acid research includes themes of Forebrain, Bioinformatics, Cardiology, Eicosapentaenoic acid and Neuroimaging.

His study looks at the relationship between Eicosapentaenoic acid and topics such as Major depressive disorder, which overlap with Delphi method. His Omega 3 fatty acid study combines topics in areas such as Dendritic spine, Amphetamine, Dissociation and Pharmacology. The various areas that Robert K. McNamara examines in his Endocrinology study include Inflammation and OMEGA-3 POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research Practice Guidelines for Omega-3 Fatty Acids in the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. (31 citations)
  • Antidepressant-Induced Activation in Children and Adolescents: Risk, Recognition and Management. (30 citations)
  • Role of polyunsaturated fatty acids in human brain structure and function across the lifespan: An update on neuroimaging findings. (26 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Major depressive disorder
  • Psychiatry

His primary areas of investigation include Psychiatry, Anxiety, Depression, Internal medicine and Antidepressant. His study of Major depressive disorder is a part of Psychiatry. His Major depressive disorder research focuses on Eicosapentaenoic acid and how it connects with Docosahexaenoic acid.

Robert K. McNamara's looking at Docosahexaenoic acid as part of his Biochemistry and Polyunsaturated fatty acid and Docosahexaenoic acid study. Robert K. McNamara applies his multidisciplinary studies on Internal medicine and Placebo-controlled study in his research. His study focuses on the intersection of Antidepressant and fields such as Logistic regression with connections in the field of Bipolar disorder and Mood.
