What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Neuroscience
- Central nervous system
- Spinal cord
E. Pierrot-Deseilligny mostly deals with Neuroscience, H-reflex, Reflex, Chemistry and Stimulation.
His work in Neuroscience addresses issues such as Spasticity, which are connected to fields such as Neurological disorder and Spastic.
His H-reflex research incorporates elements of Facilitation and Motor neuron.
His biological study deals with issues like Excitatory postsynaptic potential, which deal with fields such as Stretch reflex.
He combines subjects such as Common peroneal nerve, Electrophysiology and Ankle with his study of Stimulation.
His study explores the link between Withdrawal reflex and topics such as Motor control that cross with problems in Monosynaptic reflex and Spinal cord.
His most cited work include:
- Sensitivity of monosynaptic test reflexes to facilitation and inhibition as a function of the test reflex size: a study in man and the cat. (448 citations)
- Changes in presynaptic inhibition of Ia fibres at the onset of voluntary contraction in man. (422 citations)
- Assessing changes in presynaptic inhibition of I a fibres: a study in man and the cat (361 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, H-reflex, Anatomy, Stimulation and Reflex.
E. Pierrot-Deseilligny integrates Neuroscience with Chemistry in his study.
The concepts of his H-reflex study are interwoven with issues in Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Facilitation, Muscle contraction, Neural Inhibition and Monosynaptic reflex.
His Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Spinal cord.
His Stimulation research integrates issues from Electrophysiology, Cervical enlargement, Ankle, Femoral nerve and Electromyography.
His work on Stretch reflex as part of general Reflex study is frequently connected to Contraction, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
