Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Neurotransmitter

Colin D. Ingram mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Corticosterone, Oxytocin and Circadian rhythm. His study connects Lactation and Internal medicine. Colin D. Ingram combines subjects such as Noise stress, Vasopressin, Basal and Endocrine system with his study of Corticosterone.

His Vasopressin research includes themes of Forebrain, Hypothalamus, Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, Ovariectomized rat and Habenula. His work in the fields of Oxytocin, such as Oxytocin receptor, intersects with other areas such as Luteolysis. His Circadian rhythm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Offspring and Pituitary gland.

His most cited work include:

  • Central oxytocin administration reduces stress-induced corticosterone release and anxiety behavior in rats. (560 citations)
  • Oxytocin Attenuates Stress-Induced c-fos mRNA Expression in Specific Forebrain Regions Associated with Modulation of Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal Activity (338 citations)
  • Early-life exposure to endotoxin alters hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function and predisposition to inflammation. (318 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Corticosterone, Oxytocin and Neuroscience. His work in Endocrinology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Lactation. His work in Basal, Oxytocin receptor, 5-HT receptor, Agonist and Circadian rhythm are all subfields of Internal medicine research.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Arthritis, Inflammation, Lipopolysaccharide, Blood sampling and Dorsal raphe nucleus in addition to Corticosterone. His Oxytocin research includes elements of Electrophysiology, Milk ejection reflex, Limbic system, Neuropeptide and Reflex. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fight-or-flight response and Psychoanalysis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Endocrinology (74.55%)
  • Internal medicine (74.55%)
  • Corticosterone (26.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2016)?

  • Endocrinology (74.55%)
  • Internal medicine (74.55%)
  • Glucocorticoid (10.91%)

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

His primary areas of study are Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Glucocorticoid, Serotonin and Neuroscience. The various areas that Colin D. Ingram examines in his Endocrinology study include Lactation and 5-HT receptor. His Hippocampus, Antiglucocorticoid, Glucocorticoid receptor and Neurotransmitter study are his primary interests in Internal medicine.

Much of his study explores Glucocorticoid relationship to Corticosterone. His Corticosterone study combines topics in areas such as Blood sampling and Methylprednisolone. In general Neuroscience study, his work on Amygdala often relates to the realm of History, Action and Modulation, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Between 2006 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Anxiety behaviour of the male rat on the elevated plus maze: associated regional increase in c-fos mRNA expression and modulation by early maternal separation (35 citations)
  • Glucocorticoid receptor antagonists hasten and augment neurochemical responses to a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant. (34 citations)
  • The progesterone metabolite allopregnanolone potentiates GABA(A) receptor-mediated inhibition of 5-HT neuronal activity. (34 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Endocrinology

Colin D. Ingram mainly focuses on Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Blood sampling, Methylprednisolone and Corticosterone. Colin D. Ingram has researched Internal medicine in several fields, including Offspring and Pharmacology. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Offspring, concentrating on Cingulate cortex and intersecting with Amygdala and Dentate gyrus.

His Pharmacology research incorporates elements of Serotonin reuptake inhibitor, Fluoxetine, Reuptake inhibitor, Serotonin and Neurochemical. Colin D. Ingram has included themes like Basal, Lactation and Weaning in his Mineralocorticoid receptor study. His Allopregnanolone research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Neurotransmission and 5-HT receptor.
