Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Dopamine

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Deep brain stimulation, Parkinson's disease and Endocrinology. Alessandro Stefani has researched Neuroscience in several fields, including Depolarization, Pharmacology and Voltage-dependent calcium channel. His research on Internal medicine often connects related areas such as Gastroenterology.

His study of Subthalamic nucleus is a part of Deep brain stimulation. Alessandro Stefani regularly links together related areas like Basal ganglia in his Parkinson's disease studies. His Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agonist and Glutamate receptor.

His most cited work include:

  • Bilateral deep brain stimulation of the pedunculopontine and subthalamic nuclei in severe Parkinson's disease (642 citations)
  • Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson Disease: An Expert Consensus and Review of Key Issues (602 citations)
  • Dopamine receptor subtypes colocalize in rat striatonigral neurons (365 citations)

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

Alessandro Stefani mainly investigates Parkinson's disease, Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Deep brain stimulation and Subthalamic nucleus. His research integrates issues of Anesthesia, Neurology and Neuropsychology in his study of Parkinson's disease. His study looks at the relationship between Neuroscience and fields such as Glutamate receptor, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He works in the field of Internal medicine, focusing on Dopamine in particular. His Deep brain stimulation research includes elements of Pedunculopontine Tegmental Nucleus and Stimulation. The Endocrinology study combines topics in areas such as Agonist and Calcium, Voltage-dependent calcium channel.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Parkinson's disease (38.31%)
  • Neuroscience (35.89%)
  • Internal medicine (31.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Parkinson's disease (38.31%)
  • Disease (13.71%)
  • Internal medicine (31.85%)

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

Alessandro Stefani spends much of his time researching Parkinson's disease, Disease, Internal medicine, Neuroscience and Deep brain stimulation. His work carried out in the field of Parkinson's disease brings together such families of science as MEDLINE, Neuropsychology, Neurodegeneration, Sleep in non-human animals and Neurology. His work on Levodopa and Movement disorders as part of general Disease study is frequently connected to Population, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His study in Internal medicine is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gastroenterology, Psoriasis, Endocrinology and Cardiology. His Dopaminergic study, which is part of a larger body of work in Neuroscience, is frequently linked to Rodent, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study in Deep brain stimulation focuses on Subthalamic nucleus in particular.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dysbiosis of gut microbiota in a selected population of Parkinson's patients (45 citations)
  • Self-reported needs of patients with Parkinson's disease during COVID-19 emergency in Italy. (27 citations)
  • Anosognosia for cognitive and behavioral symptoms in Parkinson's disease with mild dementia and mild cognitive impairment: Frequency and neuropsychological/neuropsychiatric correlates (15 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Disease

Alessandro Stefani mostly deals with Parkinson's disease, Internal medicine, Disease, Neurology and Basal ganglia. His Parkinson's disease research incorporates elements of Sleep in non-human animals, Stimulation and Neuroscience. His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Gastroenterology and Endocrinology.

The concepts of his Neurology study are interwoven with issues in Neurosurgery, Nocturnal, Excessive daytime sleepiness and Cardiology. His Basal ganglia study incorporates themes from Dopamine, Medial forebrain bundle and Tetrodotoxin. His work deals with themes such as Motor cortex and Premovement neuronal activity, which intersect with Dopamine.
