Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry

Steve C.R. Williams mainly focuses on Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Neuroscience, Functional imaging, White matter and Audiology. His studies deal with areas such as Cognitive psychology, Motor control, Prefrontal cortex, Hypofrontality and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as well as Functional magnetic resonance imaging. His Cognitive psychology research incorporates themes from Developmental disorder, Autism and Asperger syndrome.

His Functional imaging study combines topics in areas such as Psychosis, Verbal fluency test and Schizophrenia. His White matter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Diffusion MRI, Cognition, Pathology, Dementia and Amyloid. The various areas that he examines in his Audiology study include Analysis of variance, Insula, Calorie, Psychiatry and Facial expression.

His most cited work include:

  • Social intelligence in the normal and autistic brain: an fMRI study. (1175 citations)
  • Hypofrontality in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder during higher-order motor control: a study with functional MRI. (889 citations)
  • Statistical methods of estimation and inference for functional MR image analysis (632 citations)

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

Steve C.R. Williams spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Audiology, Psychosis and Internal medicine. Neuroimaging, Cognition, Brain mapping, Brain activity and meditation and Cortex are the core of his Neuroscience study. He interconnects Cognitive psychology, Temporal cortex, Psychiatry, Prefrontal cortex and Functional imaging in the investigation of issues within Functional magnetic resonance imaging.

His Audiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in White matter, Insula, Anorexia nervosa, Developmental psychology and Verbal fluency test. His study in Psychosis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Schizophrenia and Cannabis. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Anterior cingulate cortex, Endocrinology, Oncology and Cardiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (29.51%)
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging (22.95%)
  • Audiology (15.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Psychosis (14.21%)
  • Internal medicine (14.21%)
  • Cannabis (6.01%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Psychosis, Internal medicine, Cannabis, Neuroscience and Audiology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endocrinology, Schizophrenia, Grey matter and Cardiology. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Alzheimer's disease and Disease.

The Audiology study combines topics in areas such as Fasciculus, Uncinate fasciculus, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Superior longitudinal fasciculus and Cohort. As part of one scientific family, Steve C.R. Williams deals mainly with the area of Functional magnetic resonance imaging, narrowing it down to issues related to the Functional connectivity, and often Multi echo, Subclinical infection and Visual Hallucination. His research integrates issues of White matter and Prefrontal cortex in his study of Catatonia.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Vascular dysfunction-The disregarded partner of Alzheimer's disease (175 citations)
  • Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol increases striatal glutamate levels in healthy individuals: implications for psychosis. (31 citations)
  • A systematic review of associations between functional MRI activity and polygenic risk for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. (18 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry

Steve C.R. Williams mainly investigates Psychosis, Audiology, Neuroscience, Internal medicine and Schizophrenia. His research in Psychosis intersects with topics in Bipolar disorder and Subclinical infection. The various areas that Steve C.R. Williams examines in his Audiology study include Verbal memory, Cognition, Episodic memory, Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and Functional magnetic resonance imaging.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Resting state fMRI, Multi echo and Functional connectivity in addition to Functional magnetic resonance imaging. His Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as White matter, Pathophysiology and Alzheimer's disease, Dementia, Disease. The concepts of his Schizophrenia study are interwoven with issues in Imaging genetics, Working memory and Neuropsychology.
