1999 - Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada Academy of Science
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.
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.
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.
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.
