Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Brain mapping, Functional brain, Cognition and Functional connectivity. His study in the field of Neuropsychology, Human brain, Resting state fMRI and Frontal lobe is also linked to topics like Correlation. As part of the same scientific family, Steven M. Nelson usually focuses on Human brain, concentrating on Functional networks and intersecting with Theoretical computer science, Sensory system, Complex system, Default mode network and Task-positive network.

His Brain mapping research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Occipital lobe, Nerve net and Functional imaging. Steven M. Nelson focuses mostly in the field of Cognition, narrowing it down to matters related to Cognitive psychology and, in some cases, Thalamus, Stimulus, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Functional neuroimaging. His work on Connectome and Connectomics as part of general Functional connectivity research is often related to Myelin sheath, thus linking different fields of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Functional network organization of the human brain (2413 citations)
  • Prediction of Individual Brain Maturity Using fMRI (1383 citations)
  • Functional System and Areal Organization of a Highly Sampled Individual Human Brain. (507 citations)

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

Steven M. Nelson mainly investigates Neuroscience, Human brain, Resting state fMRI, Functional connectivity and Cognition. Brain mapping, Posterior parietal cortex, Cerebral cortex, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Default mode network are among the areas of Neuroscience where Steven M. Nelson concentrates his study. His Brain mapping research focuses on Cognitive psychology and how it connects with Episodic memory.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Human brain, Functional networks are connected with Cerebellum and Cytoarchitecture and other disciplines. His study looks at the intersection of Functional connectivity and topics like Functional brain with Evolutionary biology. His work in Cognition addresses subjects such as Stimulus, which are connected to disciplines such as Perception.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (93.33%)
  • Human brain (58.67%)
  • Resting state fMRI (53.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Default mode network (45.33%)
  • Cerebral cortex (52.00%)
  • Neuroscience (93.33%)

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

Steven M. Nelson focuses on Default mode network, Cerebral cortex, Neuroscience, Human brain and Functional connectivity. His Default mode network research integrates issues from Artificial intelligence and Pattern recognition. His Cerebral cortex research incorporates themes from Posttraumatic stress, Clinical psychology, Major depressive disorder, Depression and Cortical volume.

Steven M. Nelson is involved in the study of Neuroscience that focuses on Resting state fMRI in particular. Human brain and Functional magnetic resonance imaging are frequently intertwined in his study. Steven M. Nelson has researched Functional connectivity in several fields, including Psychiatry, Amygdala and Salience.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Integrative and Network-Specific Connectivity of the Basal Ganglia and Thalamus Defined in Individuals. (50 citations)
  • Integrative and Network-Specific Connectivity of the Basal Ganglia and Thalamus Defined in Individuals. (50 citations)
  • Individual-specific functional connectivity of the amygdala: A substrate for precision psychiatry. (33 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging

Cerebral cortex, Default mode network, Salience, Human brain and Dorsum are his primary areas of study. As part of his studies on Default mode network, Steven M. Nelson often connects relevant subjects like Essential tremor. His Essential tremor research includes themes of Caudate nucleus, Resting state fMRI and Thalamus.

His Thalamus study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Neuroscience. His Salience research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Psychiatry, Functional connectivity and Amygdala.
