Overview

Shih-Jen Tsai is affiliated with Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan and has made substantial contributions to the fields of medicine and neuroscience. Their research portfolio encompasses a total of 412 publications in medicine and 248 publications in neuroscience, with a marked focus on psychiatry and mental health, cognitive neuroscience, and clinical psychology. These subfields include psychiatry and mental health (138 publications), cognitive neuroscience (113 publications), clinical psychology (72 publications), biological psychiatry (62 publications), and pharmacology (57 publications).

The main topics of Tsai's research cover a broad range of areas related to brain disorders and mental health treatment. These include tryptophan and brain disorders, functional brain connectivity studies, treatment of major depression, bipolar disorder and treatment, autism spectrum disorder research, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and transcranial magnetic stimulation studies.

Tsai's frequent publication venues reflect an interest in psychiatric and neuropsychopharmacological research, with numerous articles appearing in the Journal of Affective Disorders (29 publications), European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (14 publications), The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry (12 publications), The International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology (11 publications), and the Journal of Psychiatric Research (10 publications).

Among Tsai's recent papers are:

  • Role of Interleukin-6 in Depressive Disorder (2020) in International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with higher dementia risk: a nationwide longitudinal study (2020) in Gut
  • Resolving heterogeneity in schizophrenia through a novel systems approach to brain structure: individualized structural covariance network analysis (2021) in Molecular Psychiatry
  • Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of major depression aids locus discovery, fine mapping, gene prioritization and causal inference (2024) in Nature Genetics
  • Identifying the Common Genetic Basis of Antidepressant Response (2021) in Biological Psychiatry Global Open Science

Tsai collaborates frequently with a core group of co-authors, including Mu-Hong Chen, Ya-Mei Bai, Tzeng-Ji Chen, Tung-Ping Su, and Cheng-Ta Li, with collaboration counts of 208, 169, 112, 104, and 75 publications respectively. These co-authors highlight a sustained network of scientific partnership primarily within psychiatric and neuroscientific domains.
