What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Neuron
- Central nervous system
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Spinal cord, Anatomy, Nucleus, Neuroscience and Nociceptor.
The Spinal cord study combines topics in areas such as Central nervous system and Nociception.
He combines subjects such as Lumbar, Stimulation and Noxious stimulus with his study of Central nervous system.
His Afferent and Lumbar Spinal Cord study in the realm of Anatomy connects with subjects such as Horseradish peroxidase.
His work in Nucleus addresses issues such as Electrophysiology, which are connected to fields such as Axon terminal, Thermoreceptor, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Mechanoreceptor.
His work focuses on many connections between Neuroscience and other disciplines, such as Postsynaptic potential, that overlap with his field of interest in Raphe nuclei and Axon.
His most cited work include:
- Spinal termination of functionally identified primary afferent neurons with slowly conducting myelinated fibers. (714 citations)
- Reexamination of the dorsal root projection to the spinal dorsal horn including observations on the differential termination of coarse and fine fibers. (415 citations)
- Morphological features of functionally defined neurons in the marginal zone and substantia gelatinosa of the spinal dorsal horn. (326 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Alan R. Light mainly investigates Anatomy, Neuroscience, Spinal cord, Nociception and Nociceptor.
His Anatomy study frequently links to related topics such as Nucleus.
The concepts of his Neuroscience study are interwoven with issues in Postsynaptic potential and Opioid.
His studies deal with areas such as Ultrastructure, Central nervous system, Brainstem, Synapse and Nucleus raphe magnus as well as Spinal cord.
His study in Nociception is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Anesthesia, Reflex and Endocrinology, Stimulation.
His study brings together the fields of Axon and Nociceptor.
He most often published in these fields:
- Anatomy (45.95%)
- Neuroscience (44.59%)
- Spinal cord (39.19%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2015)?
- Neuroscience (44.59%)
- Stimulation (22.97%)
- Nociception (37.84%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Neuroscience, Stimulation, Nociception, Nociceptor and Hyperalgesia.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Unmyelinated afferent and Opioid in addition to Neuroscience.
His Stimulation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stimulus and Anatomy.
His research on Anatomy frequently links to adjacent areas such as Trigeminal nucleus.
In his work, Hindlimb is strongly intertwined with Reflex, which is a subfield of Nociception.
His Nociceptor research includes themes of Synapse, Axoplasm, Axon and Sensory system.
Between 2000 and 2015, his most popular works were:
- Long-lasting inflammation and long-term hyperalgesia after subcutaneous formalin injection into the rat hindpaw. (111 citations)
- Unmyelinated afferent fibers are not only for pain anymore. (45 citations)
- Estrous cycle modulation of nociceptive behaviors elicited by electrical stimulation and formalin. (42 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Neuron
- Central nervous system
Alan R. Light mainly focuses on Stimulation, Nociception, Noxious stimulus, Neuroscience and Unmyelinated afferent.
His work on Solitary nucleus is typically connected to Pulpitis as part of general Stimulation study, connecting several disciplines of science.
His Nociception research incorporates elements of Reflex and Anatomy.
His research in Noxious stimulus intersects with topics in Anesthesia, Saline, Peripheral, Sensitization and Hyperalgesia.
