Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Disease

Rosalind M. Ridley spends much of her time researching Neuroscience, Genetics, Disease, Basal ganglia and Striatum. Her research brings together the fields of Association and Neuroscience. She has included themes like Stereotypy and Nucleus basalis in her Basal ganglia study.

Her Striatum research incorporates elements of Substantia nigra, Caudate nucleus, Transplantation and Putamen. Rosalind M. Ridley works mostly in the field of Caudate nucleus, limiting it down to concerns involving Nucleus accumbens and, occasionally, Anatomy and Callithrix. Rosalind M. Ridley has researched Cholinergic in several fields, including Neocortex, Discrimination learning, Temporal cortex and Ibotenic acid.

Her most cited work include:

  • INSERTION IN PRION PROTEIN GENE IN FAMILIAL CREUTZFELDT-IAKOB DISEASE (260 citations)
  • The psychology of perseverative and stereotyped behaviour (245 citations)
  • Continuous low-level glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor delivery using recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors provides neuroprotection and induces behavioral recovery in a primate model of Parkinson's disease (218 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Marmoset, Disease, Hippocampus and Lesion. Neuroscience connects with themes related to Discrimination learning in her study. Her studies deal with areas such as Amphetamine, Anesthesia, Pharmacology and Primate as well as Marmoset.

Her work deals with themes such as Genetics and Virology, which intersect with Disease. Her studies examine the connections between Hippocampus and genetics, as well as such issues in Hippocampal formation, with regards to Cognition. Her Lesion study also includes

  • Fetal Tissue Transplantation most often made with reference to Transplantation,
  • Anatomy which intersects with area such as Striatum,
  • Putamen that connect with fields like Caudate nucleus.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (37.27%)
  • Marmoset (25.47%)
  • Disease (18.01%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 1999-2019)?

  • Neuroscience (37.27%)
  • Marmoset (25.47%)
  • Hippocampus (16.77%)

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

Rosalind M. Ridley focuses on Neuroscience, Marmoset, Hippocampus, Stroke and Lesion. While the research belongs to areas of Neuroscience, she spends her time largely on the problem of Discrimination learning, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Retrograde amnesia. Rosalind M. Ridley mostly deals with Callithrix in her studies of Marmoset.

Her research in Hippocampus intersects with topics in Hippocampal formation, Amnesia, Cholinergic and Neocortex. Her Stroke study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Occlusion, Neuroprotection and Ischemia. The Lesion study which covers Cortex that intersects with Physiology.

Between 1999 and 2019, her most popular works were:

  • Continuous low-level glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor delivery using recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors provides neuroprotection and induces behavioral recovery in a primate model of Parkinson's disease (218 citations)
  • Long-term consequences of human alpha-synuclein overexpression in the primate ventral midbrain. (160 citations)
  • NXY-059, a free radical--trapping agent, substantially lessens the functional disability resulting from cerebral ischemia in a primate species. (157 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Disease

Rosalind M. Ridley mostly deals with Marmoset, Stroke, Anesthesia, Ischemia and Neuroscience. Rosalind M. Ridley works in the field of Marmoset, namely Callithrix. Her Callithrix research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Senile plaques and Pathology.

Her Anesthesia study combines topics in areas such as Occlusion, Middle cerebral artery and Primate. Her Neuroscience and Substantia nigra, Dopamine, Striatum, Tyrosine hydroxylase and Basal ganglia investigations all form part of her Neuroscience research activities. The Dopaminergic research Rosalind M. Ridley does as part of her general Dopamine study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
