Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Neuron

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Circadian rhythm, Suprachiasmatic nucleus and Hamster. His work in the fields of Internal medicine, such as Hypothalamus and Morning, intersects with other areas such as Cortisol awakening response. The various areas that Benjamin Rusak examines in his Endocrinology study include Sleep restriction, Sleep disorder and photoperiodism.

The concepts of his Circadian rhythm study are interwoven with issues in Electrophysiology and Darkness. His Suprachiasmatic nucleus study contributes to a more complete understanding of Neuroscience. His research in Hamster intersects with topics in NMDA receptor, Dizocilpine, Receptor, Retina and Receptor antagonist.

His most cited work include:

  • Neural regulation of circadian rhythms. (1312 citations)
  • Light pulses that shift rhythms induce gene expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (507 citations)
  • The role of the suprachiasmatic nuclei in the generation of circadian rhythms in the golden hamster, Mesocricetus auratus (227 citations)

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

Benjamin Rusak mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Circadian rhythm, Suprachiasmatic nucleus and Hypothalamus. His work in the fields of Internal medicine, such as NMDA receptor, Receptor antagonist, photoperiodism and Receptor, overlaps with other areas such as Chemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Sleep deprivation, JUNB and Rhythm as well as Endocrinology.

His Circadian rhythm research is classified as research in Neuroscience. His work in Suprachiasmatic nucleus covers topics such as Glutamate receptor which are related to areas like Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Bicuculline. Benjamin Rusak has researched Hypothalamus in several fields, including Lesion, Immediate early gene, Pineal gland and Central nervous system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (62.68%)
  • Endocrinology (61.97%)
  • Circadian rhythm (56.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Sleep in non-human animals (10.56%)
  • Internal medicine (62.68%)
  • Circadian rhythm (56.34%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Sleep in non-human animals, Internal medicine, Circadian rhythm, Sleep restriction and Developmental psychology. His work deals with themes such as Preclinical stage, Cognition and Electroencephalography, which intersect with Sleep in non-human animals. His Internal medicine study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Endocrinology.

His Endocrinology study incorporates themes from Rapid eye movement sleep and Rhythm. Benjamin Rusak has included themes like Follicular phase, Menstrual cycle phase, Luteal phase and Menstrual cycle in his Circadian rhythm study. His Developmental psychology research includes elements of Emotional functioning and Audiology.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Manipulating Sleep Duration Alters Emotional Functioning and Cognitive Performance in Children (125 citations)
  • Sleep disturbance is associated with incident dementia and mortality. (112 citations)
  • The role of lateral habenula–dorsal raphe nucleus circuits in higher brain functions and psychiatric illness (69 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Psychiatry

Benjamin Rusak mostly deals with Sleep in non-human animals, Developmental psychology, Cognitive skill, Emotional functioning and Cognition. Benjamin Rusak combines subjects such as Hormone, Ovariectomized rat and Gerontology with his study of Sleep in non-human animals. His Developmental psychology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Working memory, Sleep debt and Audiology.

His Cognitive skill study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Observational study, Bedtime, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Sleep restriction and Sleep inertia. Emotional functioning is closely attributed to Sleep onset in his work. His research integrates issues of Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Electroencephalography in his study of Sleep loss.
