What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Neuroscience
- Cognition
- Gene
His primary areas of investigation include Communication, Cognitive psychology, Neuroscience, Lateralization of brain function and Troglodytes.
The concepts of his Communication study are interwoven with issues in Index finger and Gesture.
William D. Hopkins combines subjects such as Perception, Language evolution, Developmental psychology, Laterality and Animal ecology with his study of Cognitive psychology.
His work on Hand preference as part of general Laterality research is frequently linked to Body movement, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Lateralization of brain function study incorporates themes from Cerebral hemisphere, Inferior frontal gyrus, Planum temporale, Anatomy and Cognitive science.
His research investigates the connection with Troglodytes and areas like Captivity which intersect with concerns in Social relation.
His most cited work include:
- Spontaneous Symbol Acquisition and Communicative Use By Pygmy Chimpanzees (Pan paniscus) (335 citations)
- Asymmetric Broca's area in great apes (282 citations)
- Asymmetric Broca's area in great apes (282 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Troglodytes, Neuroscience, Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology and Laterality.
His study in Troglodytes is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Evolutionary biology, Gesture, Captivity and Communication.
In his work, Planum temporale, Cerebral cortex and White matter is strongly intertwined with Anatomy, which is a subfield of Neuroscience.
His work on Motor skill as part of general Developmental psychology research is often related to Social environment, thus linking different fields of science.
His Cognitive psychology research incorporates themes from Facial expression, Social psychology, Cognition and Perception.
His work on Hand preference as part of general Laterality study is frequently linked to Hand use, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
He most often published in these fields:
- Troglodytes (41.16%)
- Neuroscience (38.99%)
- Developmental psychology (37.00%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Neuroscience (38.99%)
- Primate (19.86%)
- Cognition (22.38%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
William D. Hopkins mostly deals with Neuroscience, Primate, Cognition, Evolutionary biology and Cognitive psychology.
He has included themes like Lateralization of brain function, Frontal cortex, Medial frontal cortex and Brain size in his Primate study.
His research investigates the link between Lateralization of brain function and topics such as Motor control that cross with problems in Laterality.
His Cognition study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Troglodytes.
His Troglodytes research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Developmental psychology, Psychopathy and Heritability.
His Cognitive psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hand preference, Social psychology, Personality, Gratification and Gaze.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The genetic architecture of the human cerebral cortex. (116 citations)
- The mismeasure of ape social cognition. (54 citations)
- Aged chimpanzees exhibit pathologic hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. (43 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Neuroscience
- Cognition
- Gene
William D. Hopkins spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Anatomy, Cognitive psychology, Cortex and Human brain.
His Neuroscience research integrates issues from Serotonergic and Pan paniscus.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Frontal lobe and Olive Baboons in addition to Anatomy.
His Cognitive psychology study combines topics in areas such as Social psychology, Flexibility, Gratification, Gaze and Social cognition.
The Psychopathy study combines topics in areas such as Developmental psychology and Troglodytes.
His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Laterality and Troglodytes.
