What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Dopamine
- Neuroscience
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Incentive salience, Incentive, Addiction, Developmental psychology and Neuroscience.
Her research links Nucleus accumbens with Incentive salience.
Her research in Addiction tackles topics such as Stimulus Salience which are related to areas like Anticipation, Stereotypy, Psychomotor learning and Sensitization.
While the research belongs to areas of Developmental psychology, Shelly B. Flagel spends her time largely on the problem of Dopaminergic, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Addiction vulnerability, Disinhibition and Novelty seeking.
Dopamine receptor D2 and Dopamine are the primary areas of interest in her Neuroscience study.
Her Cognitive psychology research incorporates elements of Maladaptive behaviour and Curiosity.
Her most cited work include:
- A selective role for dopamine in stimulus–reward learning (710 citations)
- Individual differences in the attribution of incentive salience to reward-related cues: Implications for addiction (380 citations)
- Dissociating the predictive and incentive motivational properties of reward-related cues through the study of individual differences. (289 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Shelly B. Flagel focuses on Addiction, Neuroscience, Incentive salience, Developmental psychology and Dopamine.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Novelty seeking, Dopamine receptor D2, Impulsivity and Endophenotype in addition to Addiction.
Her Thalamus, Dopaminergic and Paraventricular thalamus study in the realm of Neuroscience interacts with subjects such as Substance abuse.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Stimulus and Attribution, Social psychology in addition to Incentive salience.
Her Developmental psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Addiction vulnerability, Temperament and Novelty.
Her research in Dopamine is mostly concerned with Nucleus accumbens.
She most often published in these fields:
- Addiction (74.16%)
- Neuroscience (61.80%)
- Incentive salience (62.92%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Neuroscience (61.80%)
- Incentive salience (62.92%)
- Addiction (74.16%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Neuroscience, Incentive salience, Addiction, Thalamus and Dopamine are her primary areas of study.
She interconnects Elevated plus maze, Corticosterone and Adaptive behavior in the investigation of issues within Neuroscience.
As a member of one scientific family, Shelly B. Flagel mostly works in the field of Incentive salience, focusing on Attribution and, on occasion, Novelty seeking and Sensation seeking.
Shelly B. Flagel regularly ties together related areas like Learning styles in her Addiction studies.
Her Thalamus research includes themes of Infralimbic cortex, Antagonist, Reinforcement and Lateral hypothalamus.
Her work in the fields of Dopamine, such as Nucleus accumbens, intersects with other areas such as Value.
Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- The paraventricular thalamus is a critical mediator of top-down control of cue-motivated behavior in rats (30 citations)
- The paraventricular thalamus is a critical mediator of top-down control of cue-motivated behavior in rats (30 citations)
- Incentive salience attribution, "sensation-seeking" and "novelty-seeking" are independent traits in a large sample of male and female heterogeneous stock rats. (15 citations)
