What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Gene
- Endocrinology
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Hypothalamus, Estrogen and Neuroscience.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Internal medicine, Estrogen receptor beta is strongly linked to Estrogen receptor alpha.
While the research belongs to areas of Endocrinology, Donald W. Pfaff spends his time largely on the problem of Gene expression, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Messenger RNA.
The Hypothalamus study combines topics in areas such as Pituitary gland, Basal, Progesterone receptor and Anterior pituitary.
He interconnects Steroid hormone, Estrous cycle, Proenkephalin and In situ hybridization in the investigation of issues within Estrogen.
Donald W. Pfaff works mostly in the field of Neuroscience, limiting it down to topics relating to Anatomy and, in certain cases, Stria terminalis, Raphe nuclei, Reticular formation and Ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus.
His most cited work include:
- Atlas of estradiol-concentrating cells in the central nervous system of the female rat. (1386 citations)
- Hormones, brain, and behavior (1282 citations)
- Long-term gene expression and phenotypic correction using adeno-associated virus vectors in the mammalian brain (1110 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Hypothalamus, Neuroscience and Estrogen.
His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Gene expression, In situ hybridization and Estrogen receptor alpha.
Endocrinology is closely attributed to Receptor in his study.
The concepts of his Hypothalamus study are interwoven with issues in Nucleus, Neuron and Amygdala.
His studies deal with areas such as Neuropeptide and Anatomy as well as Neuroscience.
Donald W. Pfaff is interested in Lordosis behavior, which is a branch of Estrogen.
He most often published in these fields:
- Internal medicine (57.33%)
- Endocrinology (56.51%)
- Hypothalamus (24.30%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?
- Neuroscience (23.14%)
- Endocrinology (56.51%)
- Internal medicine (57.33%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Arousal and Hormone.
His work on Central nervous system, Nervous system and Excitatory postsynaptic potential as part of general Neuroscience research is frequently linked to Context, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His work in Endocrinology tackles topics such as Estrogen receptor alpha which are related to areas like Estrogen receptor beta.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Epigenetics and Aggression in addition to Internal medicine.
His research integrates issues of Developmental psychology, Stimulation, Deep brain stimulation and Anxiety in his study of Arousal.
His Hormone study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Cell biology.
Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Deconstructing and Reconstructing Theory of Mind (221 citations)
- Endocrine and physiological changes in response to chronic corticosterone: a potential model of the metabolic syndrome in mouse. (176 citations)
- The Physiological Mechanisms of Motivation (142 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Gene
- Internal medicine
- Neuroscience
His scientific interests lie mostly in Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Estrogen receptor alpha, Neuroscience and Epigenetics.
His study in Aggression extends to Endocrinology with its themes.
Estrogen-related receptor alpha is closely connected to Nuclear receptor in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Internal medicine.
His research in Estrogen receptor alpha intersects with topics in Cancer research, Estrogen receptor beta, Proceptive phase, Estrogen and Receptivity.
His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Synaptic plasticity, Medulla and Internalization.
Donald W. Pfaff combines subjects such as Cerebral cortex, Raphe nuclei, Nucleus and Amygdala with his study of Hypothalamus.
