Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Genetics, Molecular evolution, Clinical psychology, Gene and Anxiety are his primary areas of study. His study in the fields of Mitochondrial DNA, Linkage disequilibrium and Allele frequency under the domain of Genetics overlaps with other disciplines such as Actinin. His work deals with themes such as Natural selection, Evolution of mammals, Base sequence, Reticulate evolution and Genetic variation, which intersect with Molecular evolution.

His Clinical psychology study incorporates themes from Young adult, Depression, 5-HTTLPR and Gene–environment interaction. The various areas that Simon Easteal examines in his Anxiety study include Neuroticism, Personality, Medical history and Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance. His biological study deals with issues like Skeletal muscle, which deal with fields such as Allele.

His most cited work include:

  • Identification, characterization, and crystal structure of the Omega class glutathione transferases. (592 citations)
  • ACTN3 Genotype Is Associated with Human Elite Athletic Performance (591 citations)
  • A common nonsense mutation results in alpha-actinin-3 deficiency in the general population. (309 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Allele, Gene, Clinical psychology and Psychiatry. His study in Molecular evolution, Nucleic acid sequence, Allele frequency, Genetic variation and Phylogenetics is carried out as part of his Genetics studies. Simon Easteal has included themes like Evolutionary biology and Molecular clock in his Molecular evolution study.

His Allele research integrates issues from Apolipoprotein E, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Genotype. His research investigates the connection between Apolipoprotein E and topics such as Gerontology that intersect with issues in Dementia. His Clinical psychology research also works with subjects such as

  • Cognition which intersects with area such as Developmental psychology,
  • Longitudinal study which intersects with area such as Temperament.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (34.15%)
  • Allele (18.05%)
  • Gene (11.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Cognitive decline (8.78%)
  • Gerontology (9.76%)
  • Dementia (8.78%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cognitive decline, Gerontology, Dementia, Cognition and Cohort. His study on Cognitive decline also encompasses disciplines like

  • Working memory which is related to area like Clinical psychology, Genetic association and Genome-wide association study,
  • Demography which connect with Reproductive success and Physiology. When carried out as part of a general Gerontology research project, his work on Young adult is frequently linked to work in Index, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His Cohort study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Liver disease, Area under the curve, Logistic regression and Cohort study. Simon Easteal has researched Apolipoprotein E in several fields, including Allele and Age of onset. His Allele research is under the purview of Genetics.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Collaborative meta-analysis finds no evidence of a strong interaction between stress and 5-HTTLPR genotype contributing to the development of depression (154 citations)
  • APOE*E2 allele delays age of onset in PSEN1 E280A Alzheimer’s disease (58 citations)
  • Hippocampal atrophy is associated with subjective memory decline: The PATH Through Life study. (40 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Simon Easteal spends much of his time researching Cognitive decline, Dementia, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Gerontology and Genetics. Simon Easteal interconnects Demography, Cognition, Middle age, Subjective memory and Hippocampal atrophy in the investigation of issues within Cognitive decline. His study in Dementia is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Incidence, Cohort study, Cohort, Mass screening and Depression.

His research in Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance intersects with topics in Working memory, Allele and Episodic memory. His Allele research includes elements of Internal medicine, Disease, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Mutation. His Genetics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Age of onset.
