Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Retina

Russell G. Foster focuses on Circadian rhythm, Neuroscience, Melanopsin, Retina and Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells. Internal medicine and Endocrinology are the main areas of his Circadian rhythm studies. The concepts of his Internal medicine study are interwoven with issues in Nucleus and Cell biology.

Russell G. Foster focuses mostly in the field of Melanopsin, narrowing it down to topics relating to Retinohypothalamic tract and, in certain cases, Animal activity, Retinal rods and Motor activity. His studies deal with areas such as Preoptic area, Pupillary light reflex and Anatomy as well as Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Retinal, Mammalian eye, Photopigment, Pupillary reflex and Opsin.

His most cited work include:

  • Transplanted suprachiasmatic nucleus determines circadian period (1481 citations)
  • Melanopsin and rod/cone photoreceptive systems account for all major accessory visual functions in mice. (933 citations)
  • Experimental validation of novel and conventional approaches to quantitative real‐time PCR data analysis (762 citations)

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

His main research concerns Circadian rhythm, Neuroscience, Opsin, Sleep in non-human animals and Melanopsin. His Circadian rhythm research also covers Internal medicine and Endocrinology studies. His study of Entrainment is a part of Neuroscience.

His Opsin research incorporates themes from Vertebrate, Anatomy, Retina, Photopigment and Cell biology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Rhodopsin, Retinal and Molecular biology in addition to Retina. In his study, Giant retinal ganglion cells is inextricably linked to Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, which falls within the broad field of Melanopsin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Circadian rhythm (32.38%)
  • Neuroscience (28.72%)
  • Opsin (21.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Sleep in non-human animals (20.10%)
  • Circadian rhythm (32.38%)
  • Neuroscience (28.72%)

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

Russell G. Foster spends much of his time researching Sleep in non-human animals, Circadian rhythm, Neuroscience, Melanopsin and Psychiatry. In the field of Internal medicine and Endocrinology Russell G. Foster studies Circadian rhythm. His Neuroscience research also works with subjects such as

  • Retinal together with Retina,
  • Signalling, which have a strong connection to Melatonin.

The various areas that Russell G. Foster examines in his Melanopsin study include Photopigment, Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, Cell biology, Rhodopsin and Visual phototransduction. Russell G. Foster studied Photopigment and Opsin that intersect with Vertebrate. His work deals with themes such as Retinohypothalamic tract and Anatomy, which intersect with Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The effects of improving sleep on mental health (OASIS): a randomised controlled trial with mediation analysis (197 citations)
  • Efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy for sleep improvement in patients with persistent delusions and hallucinations (BEST): a prospective, assessor-blind, randomised controlled pilot trial (104 citations)
  • Effect of Digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia on Health, Psychological Well-being, and Sleep-Related Quality of Life: A Randomized Clinical Trial (84 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Circadian rhythm, Sleep in non-human animals, Psychiatry, Randomized controlled trial and Insomnia. Neuroscience and Internal medicine are the main topics of his Circadian rhythm study. His study in Sleep in non-human animals is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Intrusive memories, Surgery and Psychological trauma.

In his work, Anxiety is strongly intertwined with Clinical psychology, which is a subfield of Psychiatry. He has included themes like Photopigment, Rhodopsin and Cell biology in his Genetics study. His research in Melanopsin intersects with topics in Endocrinology and Opsin.
