Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron

D. Le Bars focuses on Neuroscience, Nociception, Diffuse noxious inhibitory control, Reflex and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. His Brainstem, Electrophysiology, Temporal cortex and Insula study in the realm of Neuroscience connects with subjects such as Prism adaptation. His Nociception research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Medulla and Spinal cord.

His research in Diffuse noxious inhibitory control focuses on subjects like Nociceptive flexion reflex, which are connected to Thermal stimulation and Stimulus. His research in Reflex tackles topics such as Nociceptive Stimulus which are related to areas like Anesthesia, Nociceptive Reflex, Stimulation and Sural nerve. His work on Excitatory postsynaptic potential as part of general Inhibitory postsynaptic potential study is frequently linked to Acupuncturist and Zusanli, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Electrical stimulation of motor cortex for pain control: a combined PET-scan and electrophysiological study☆ (437 citations)
  • Psychophysical and electrophysiological approaches to the pain-relieving effects of heterotopic nociceptive stimuli. (357 citations)
  • Neuroanatomical correlates of visually evoked sexual arousal in human males. (355 citations)

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

D. Le Bars spends much of his time researching Nociception, Neuroscience, Anesthesia, Diffuse noxious inhibitory control and Stimulation. His research integrates issues of Central nervous system, Pharmacology, Reflex and Spinal cord in his study of Nociception. His Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Medulla and Nociceptor.

D. Le Bars interconnects Ultrasonic sensor, -Naloxone and Nociceptive Stimulus in the investigation of issues within Anesthesia. His studies in Diffuse noxious inhibitory control integrate themes in fields like Receptive field, Hyperpolarization, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Rostral ventromedial medulla and Spinothalamic tract. His research investigates the connection between Stimulation and topics such as Stimulus that intersect with issues in Insula.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Nociception (46.49%)
  • Neuroscience (40.35%)
  • Anesthesia (28.07%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2013)?

  • Neuroscience (40.35%)
  • Humanities (5.26%)
  • Nociception (46.49%)

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

D. Le Bars mainly investigates Neuroscience, Humanities, Nociception, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. His research on Neuroscience often connects related topics like Diffuse noxious inhibitory control. His Diffuse noxious inhibitory control research incorporates themes from Medulla, Premovement neuronal activity, Reflex and Spinal cord.

D. Le Bars has researched Nociception in several fields, including Inflammatory mediator, Stimulation and Sensation. Many of his research projects under Endocrinology are closely connected to Alzheimer's disease and Dementia with Alzheimer's disease and Dementia, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Inhibitory postsynaptic potential research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lateral inhibition, Receptive field and Noxious stimulus.

Between 1999 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • Diffuse Noxious Inhibitory Controls (DNIC) (169 citations)
  • Functional anatomy of the therapeutic effects of prism adaptation on left neglect (134 citations)
  • Up-regulation of hippocampal serotonin metabolism in mild cognitive impairment (58 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience

D. Le Bars mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Hippocampus, Alzheimer's disease, Serotonergic and Dementia. His work on Neuroscience is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Cerebral blood flow. His Hippocampus research incorporates elements of Hippocampal formation, Neurotransmitter and MPPF.

Alzheimer's disease is integrated with Serotonin, Parahippocampal gyrus and Limbic system in his research.
