Overview

Terry D. Blumenthal is a researcher affiliated with Wake Forest University in the United States. Their work spans multiple fields within medicine and psychology, with a particular focus on experimental and cognitive psychology, behavioral neuroscience, cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, physiology, and molecular biology.

Their research encompasses a variety of topics, including anxiety, depression, psychometrics, treatment, and cognitive processes. Additional areas of study include stress responses and cortisol, heart rate variability and autonomic control, smoking behavior and cessation, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, non-invasive vital sign monitoring, and healthcare technology and patient monitoring.

Recent publications by Blumenthal cover different aspects of psychophysiology and addictive behaviors. These are:

  • "Anxiety and initial value dependence in startle habituation" (2022) published in Psychophysiology
  • "Tobacco withdrawal-induced changes in sensorimotor filtering as a predictor of smoking lapse in trauma-exposed individuals" (2023) published in Addictive Behaviors
  • "Prepulse inhibition and the call alert in emergency medical services" (2024) published in Psychophysiology

Among the frequent co-authors collaborating with Blumenthal are J. Alex Faunce, Christian E. Waugh, Suzanne L. Pineles, Pengsheng Ni, and Shivani Pandey. Their collaborative work reflects interdisciplinary approaches within psychology and behavioral medicine.

Blumenthal's research is predominantly published in venues such as Psychophysiology, where they have multiple contributions, as well as Addictive Behaviors. These publication outlets correspond with their main areas of investigation in psychophysiology and addiction research.
