Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Dopamine
  • Endocrinology

Antonio Argiolas spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Dopamine, Oxytocin and Hypothalamus. His is doing research in Neuropeptide, Apomorphine, Opioid peptide, Dopamine receptor and Vasopressin, both of which are found in Internal medicine. In Endocrinology, Antonio Argiolas works on issues like Antagonist, which are connected to Neurotensin.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Dopamine, Frontal cortex, Dopamine metabolism, Oral administration, Ethanol and Sedation is strongly linked to Stimulant. His work carried out in the field of Oxytocin brings together such families of science as Nitric oxide synthase, Peptide hormone and Vasotocin. His studies deal with areas such as 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Neuropeptide Y receptor as well as Hypothalamus.

His most cited work include:

  • Evidence for dopamine receptors mediating sedation in the mouse brain (413 citations)
  • Dopamine and sexual behavior. (376 citations)
  • Central functions of oxytocin (301 citations)

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

Antonio Argiolas focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Oxytocin, Dopamine and Hypothalamus. His studies in Dopamine agonist, Haloperidol, Dopamine receptor, Substantia nigra and Caudate nucleus are all subfields of Internal medicine research. His Endocrinology research includes elements of Agonist, Antagonist and Neuropeptide.

The Oxytocin study combines topics in areas such as Vasopressin, Central nervous system, Peptide hormone and Vasotocin. Dopamine is a primary field of his research addressed under Neuroscience. His research investigates the connection between Hypothalamus and topics such as Microdialysis that intersect with issues in Male rats.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (95.95%)
  • Endocrinology (95.05%)
  • Oxytocin (47.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Internal medicine (95.95%)
  • Endocrinology (95.05%)
  • Dopamine (50.45%)

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

His main research concerns Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Dopamine, Neuroscience and Dopaminergic. His study in Apomorphine, Oxytocin, Substantia nigra, Sprague dawley rats and Tyrosine hydroxylase is done as part of Internal medicine. Antonio Argiolas has researched Oxytocin in several fields, including Hypothalamus, Arcuate nucleus and Orexin receptor, Orexin.

His study of Dopamine receptor D1 is a part of Endocrinology. His research on Dopamine focuses in particular on Nucleus accumbens. The various areas that Antonio Argiolas examines in his Neuroscience study include Angiotensin II, Melanocyte-stimulating hormone and Vasopressin.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Neuropeptides and central control of sexual behaviour from the past to the present: A review (84 citations)
  • Neuropeptides and central control of sexual behaviour from the past to the present: A review (84 citations)
  • Central control of penile erection: a re-visitation of the role of oxytocin and its interaction with dopamine and glutamic acid in male rats. (84 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Dopamine
  • Neurotransmitter

Antonio Argiolas mostly deals with Dopamine, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Dopaminergic and Neuroscience. His Dopamine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hypothalamus, Receptor, Serotonin, Erectile dysfunction and Oxytocin. His study in Hypothalamus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both D2-like receptor and Dopamine agonist.

His work on Apomorphine, Angiotensin II and Vasopressin as part of general Internal medicine study is frequently linked to Sexual arousal, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His research integrates issues of Microdialysis and Nucleus accumbens in his study of Dopaminergic. His Neuroscience research includes themes of Opioid peptide, Neuropeptide, Galanin, Galanin-like peptide and Melanocyte-stimulating hormone.
