The concepts of his Neuropeptide study are interwoven with issues in Hypothalamus and Lateral hypothalamus.
He focuses mostly in the field of Neuroscience, narrowing it down to topics relating to Transgene and, in certain cases, Cell type, Mutant, Repertoire and Gene expression.
His studies deal with areas such as Sleep onset and Non-rapid eye movement sleep as well as Wakefulness.
His most cited work include:
- Hypothalamic orexin neurons regulate arousal according to energy balance in mice. (728 citations)
- Input of orexin/hypocretin neurons revealed by a genetically encoded tracer in mice. (391 citations)
- Interaction between the Corticotropin-Releasing Factor System and Hypocretins (Orexins): A Novel Circuit Mediating Stress Response (349 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Orexin, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Optogenetics.
Neuroscience is frequently linked to Serotonergic in his study.
His research integrates issues of Cataplexy, Narcolepsy, Wakefulness and Lateral hypothalamus in his study of Orexin.
His study in Wakefulness is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Arousal, Slow-wave sleep, Period, Premovement neuronal activity and Non-rapid eye movement sleep.
His research in Endocrinology intersects with topics in Neuropeptide and Receptor.
His Optogenetics research incorporates elements of Biophysics, Patch clamp, Transgene and Gene silencing.
He most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (53.64%)
- Orexin (52.27%)
- Endocrinology (44.09%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Gene
- Internal medicine
- Neuron
His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Orexin, Optogenetics, Internal medicine and Endocrinology.
His work in Neuroscience tackles topics such as Glutamate receptor which are related to areas like Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Circadian clock, CLOCK and Period.
Akihiro Yamanaka combines subjects such as Lateral hypothalamus, Calcium imaging, Wakefulness and Cataplexy, Narcolepsy with his study of Orexin.
He has researched Optogenetics in several fields, including Optical fiber, Depolarization, Dorsal raphe nucleus and Serotonin.
In general Internal medicine study, his work on Oxytocin, Hypothermia and Receptor often relates to the realm of Adenosine A1 receptor, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agonist and Transcription.
