Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Alzheimer's disease

Alessandro Martorana focuses on Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Alzheimer's disease, Endocrinology and Cognitive decline. His research on Neuroscience frequently links to adjacent areas such as Disease. The Orexin research he does as part of his general Internal medicine study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Population, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His studies in Alzheimer's disease integrate themes in fields like Cognition, Default mode network and Electroencephalography. His work on Cholinergic neuron and Striatum as part of his general Endocrinology study is frequently connected to Cyclic guanosine monophosphate, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Cognitive decline research is classified as research in Dementia.

His most cited work include:

  • Inflammation Triggers Synaptic Alteration and Degeneration in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (263 citations)
  • Orexinergic System Dysregulation, Sleep Impairment, and Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer Disease (157 citations)
  • "Is dopamine involved in Alzheimer's disease?". (123 citations)

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

Alessandro Martorana mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Disease and Neuroplasticity. His work on Neuroscience deals in particular with Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Cholinergic, Dopaminergic, Dopamine and Stimulation. His Dopamine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Levodopa and Neurotransmitter.

His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Gastroenterology and Cardiology. His Striatum, Globus pallidus and Basal ganglia study in the realm of Endocrinology interacts with subjects such as Quinolinic acid. His study looks at the relationship between Neuroplasticity and topics such as Long-term potentiation, which overlap with Cognitive decline, Synaptic plasticity, Primary motor cortex, Neuropsychology and Biomarker.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (39.85%)
  • Internal medicine (33.83%)
  • Endocrinology (21.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (39.85%)
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (16.54%)
  • Frontotemporal dementia (6.77%)

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

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Frontotemporal dementia, Neuroplasticity and Disease. His work in Neuroscience is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Neurodegeneration. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Differential diagnosis, Alzheimer's disease, Dementia and Primary progressive aphasia.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Motor cortex, Primary motor cortex, Long-term potentiation and Aphasia in addition to Neuroplasticity. His Disease study combines topics in areas such as Follow up studies, Environmental enrichment, Pediatrics and Successful aging. His Internal medicine research integrates issues from Endocrinology and Frontal lobe.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Classification Accuracy of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for the Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Dementias. (21 citations)
  • LTP-like cortical plasticity is associated with verbal memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease patients (21 citations)
  • LTP-like cortical plasticity predicts conversion to dementia in patients with memory impairment. (8 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Alzheimer's disease

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Alzheimer's disease, Neuroscience, Frontotemporal dementia and Dementia. Many of his studies on Transcranial magnetic stimulation apply to Neuroplasticity as well. Alessandro Martorana combines subjects such as Long-term potentiation and Cognition with his study of Neuroplasticity.

His Cognition study incorporates themes from Internal medicine and Oncology. His Alzheimer's disease study combines topics in areas such as Adverse effect, Clinical endpoint, Randomized controlled trial and Rotigotine. In his research, Recall, Disease, Neurotransmission, Neuronal degeneration and Lewy body is intimately related to Differential diagnosis, which falls under the overarching field of Frontotemporal dementia.
