Clifford B. Saper mainly investigates Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Anatomy and Hypothalamus. His study in Thalamus, Cerebral cortex, Wakefulness, Circadian rhythm and Suprachiasmatic nucleus is carried out as part of his Neuroscience studies. His work in Internal medicine tackles topics such as In situ hybridization which are related to areas like Cerebellum.
In the field of Endocrinology, his study on GABAergic, Tyrosine hydroxylase and Dorsal motor nucleus overlaps with subjects such as Cart and Central melanocortin system. The various areas that Clifford B. Saper examines in his Anatomy study include Nucleus ambiguus, Central nucleus of the amygdala and Stria terminalis. His Hypothalamus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript, Medial forebrain bundle, Central nervous system and Neuron.
Clifford B. Saper focuses on Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Hypothalamus and Anatomy. His is involved in several facets of Neuroscience study, as is seen by his studies on Cerebral cortex, Circadian rhythm, Sleep in non-human animals, Wakefulness and Thalamus. Clifford B. Saper does research in Internal medicine, focusing on Prostaglandin E2 specifically.
In his research, Narcolepsy is intimately related to Orexin, which falls under the overarching field of Endocrinology. His Hypothalamus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Tuberomammillary nucleus, Nucleus, Neuron and Median preoptic nucleus. His Anatomy study incorporates themes from Central nucleus of the amygdala, Insular cortex and Spinal cord.
His main research concerns Neuroscience, Hypothalamus, Optogenetics, Sleep in non-human animals and Arousal. His research on Neuroscience often connects related areas such as Glutamatergic. His study in Nucleus extends to Hypothalamus with its themes.
His Arousal research incorporates elements of Cognitive psychology and Parabrachial Nucleus. His Lateral hypothalamus study focuses on Endocrinology and Internal medicine. The study incorporates disciplines such as Hypothermia and Non-rapid eye movement sleep in addition to Endocrinology.
His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Hypothalamus, Optogenetics, Wakefulness and Internal medicine. His work deals with themes such as Glutamate receptor and Glutamatergic, which intersect with Neuroscience. His research in Hypothalamus intersects with topics in Thermogenesis, Nucleus, Reflex and Circadian rhythm.
His Optogenetics research also works with subjects such as
