Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Central nervous system

Anatomy, Neuroscience, Spinal cord, Nociceptor and Nociception are his primary areas of study. His work deals with themes such as Cord, TRPM8, Sensory system and Nucleus raphe magnus, which intersect with Anatomy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neurotransmission and Rostral ventromedial medulla.

Allan I. Basbaum interconnects Anesthesia, Nerve injury, Somatosensory system, Nucleus and Central nervous system in the investigation of issues within Spinal cord. His Nociceptor study combines topics in areas such as Transduction, Nervous system, Signal transduction, Serotonin and Wheat germ agglutinin. His Nociception research integrates issues from Endocrinology, Pharmacology and Substance P.

His most cited work include:

  • Impaired Nociception and Pain Sensation in Mice Lacking the Capsaicin Receptor (2884 citations)
  • The Cloned Capsaicin Receptor Integrates Multiple Pain-Producing Stimuli (2564 citations)
  • Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Pain (2458 citations)

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

Allan I. Basbaum spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Spinal cord, Nociception, Anatomy and Internal medicine. The Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Nociceptor and Nucleus raphe magnus. His research in Nociceptor tackles topics such as TRPV1 which are related to areas like Capsaicin.

His work carried out in the field of Spinal cord brings together such families of science as Anesthesia, Nerve injury, Central nervous system, Brainstem and Substance P. His Anatomy research includes elements of Lesion and Nucleus. His Internal medicine research incorporates themes from Endocrinology and Extravasation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (41.14%)
  • Spinal cord (36.78%)
  • Nociception (26.70%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (41.14%)
  • Spinal cord (36.78%)
  • Neuropathic pain (8.17%)

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

Allan I. Basbaum mostly deals with Neuroscience, Spinal cord, Neuropathic pain, Nociception and Nociceptor. His study in Neuroscience is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn and Peripheral nerve injury. His studies deal with areas such as Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Anatomy, Ganglionic eminence, Receptor and Chronic pain as well as Spinal cord.

His Neuropathic pain research incorporates elements of Hyperalgesia and Conditioned place preference. His Nociception study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Thalamus, Insula, Secondary somatosensory cortex and Reelin. The various areas that Allan I. Basbaum examines in his Nociceptor study include Capsaicin, Somatosensory system, Sensory nerve, Neuron and Mechanosensitive channels.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A sensory neuron–expressed IL-31 receptor mediates T helper cell–dependent itch: Involvement of TRPV1 and TRPA1 (319 citations)
  • Transmitting Pain and Itch Messages: A Contemporary View of the Spinal Cord Circuits that Generate Gate Control (232 citations)
  • Injured sensory neuron-derived CSF1 induces microglial proliferation and DAP12-dependent pain (227 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Spinal cord, Neuropathic pain, Nociceptor and Peripheral nerve injury. The concepts of his Neuroscience study are interwoven with issues in Hyperalgesia, Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn, Nociception and Transplantation. His Spinal cord research integrates issues from Receptor and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential.

The Nociceptor study combines topics in areas such as Neuron and Mechanosensitive channels. His research in Interneuron intersects with topics in Nerve root, Anatomy, Reflex and Substance P. He interconnects Neuroplasticity and Cortex in the investigation of issues within Anatomy.
