Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Circadian rhythm
  • Optics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Circadian rhythm, Melatonin, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Audiology. His studies in Circadian rhythm integrate themes in fields like Vigilance, Alertness, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Developmental psychology and Wakefulness. His Melatonin research includes elements of Thermoregulation, CLOCK and Phase response curve.

His research integrates issues of Placebo and Gene in his study of Internal medicine. The study incorporates disciplines such as Morning and Electrooculography in addition to Endocrinology. His Audiology research incorporates elements of Sleep deprivation, Sleep in non-human animals, Non-rapid eye movement sleep, Communication and Sleep Stages.

His most cited work include:

  • A Phase Response Curve to Single Bright Light Pulses in Human Subjects (674 citations)
  • High sensitivity of human melatonin, alertness, thermoregulation, and heart rate to short wavelength light. (591 citations)
  • Role of Melatonin in the Regulation of Human Circadian Rhythms and Sleep (456 citations)

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

Christian Cajochen mainly focuses on Circadian rhythm, Sleep in non-human animals, Audiology, Internal medicine and Melatonin. His Circadian rhythm study combines topics in areas such as Sleep deprivation, Wakefulness and Nap. In general Sleep in non-human animals study, his work on Non-rapid eye movement sleep often relates to the realm of Core, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Christian Cajochen combines subjects such as Vigilance, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Developmental psychology, Noise and Polysomnography with his study of Audiology. As part of the same scientific family, Christian Cajochen usually focuses on Internal medicine, concentrating on Endocrinology and intersecting with Bright light. His Melatonin research incorporates themes from Phase response curve, Alertness, Suprachiasmatic nucleus, Physiology and Chronobiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Circadian rhythm (48.30%)
  • Sleep in non-human animals (32.65%)
  • Audiology (30.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Circadian rhythm (48.30%)
  • Melatonin (26.19%)
  • Sleep in non-human animals (32.65%)

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

Christian Cajochen spends much of his time researching Circadian rhythm, Melatonin, Sleep in non-human animals, Audiology and Caffeine. In general Circadian rhythm, his work in Chronotype is often linked to Hemagglutination assay linking many areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Melatonin brings together such families of science as Wakefulness, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells and Vigilance.

He has researched Sleep in non-human animals in several fields, including Rhythm, Chronobiology and Electroencephalography. Christian Cajochen combines subjects such as Alertness, Bedtime, Affect and Noise exposure with his study of Audiology. His study looks at the relationship between Caffeine and topics such as Placebo, which overlap with Anesthesia, Cerebral blood flow, Endocrinology and Internal medicine.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on human sleep and rest-activity rhythms. (58 citations)
  • A systematic analysis of mutual effects of transportation noise and air pollution exposure on myocardial infarction mortality: a nationwide cohort study in Switzerland (42 citations)
  • A survey on exposure-response relationships for road, rail, and aircraft noise annoyance: Differences between continuous and intermittent noise. (38 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Optics
  • Psychiatry

Christian Cajochen mainly investigates Sleep in non-human animals, Melatonin, Noise, Audiology and Circadian rhythm. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Chronobiology under Sleep in non-human animals, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Cognition, Ophthalmology and Developmental psychology. His Melatonin course of study focuses on Wakefulness and Physiology, Caffeine, Vigilance, Sleep deprivation and Homeostasis.

His Noise study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cohort study and Environmental health. Christian Cajochen interconnects Annoyance, Electroencephalography, Light spectrum, Mood and Daylight in the investigation of issues within Audiology. His Circadian rhythm research is classified as research in Neuroscience.
