Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Endocrinology

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Pharmacology, Receptor and Biochemistry. His work in Hippocampus, Norepinephrine, Serotonin, Catecholamine and Striatum is related to Internal medicine. His Endocrinology research incorporates elements of Neurotensin and Monoamine neurotransmitter.

The concepts of his Pharmacology study are interwoven with issues in -Naloxone, Endogeny and Opiate. As part of one scientific family, Erminio Costa deals mainly with the area of Receptor, narrowing it down to issues related to the Stimulation, and often Drug metabolism, Cell culture, Gene expression and Cycloheximide. His studies in Amino acid integrate themes in fields like Phospholipid, Quisqualic acid and Inositol.

His most cited work include:

  • APPLICATION OF STEADY STATE KINETICS TO THE ESTIMATION OF SYNTHESIS RATE AND TURNOVER TIME OF TISSUE CATECHOLAMINES (674 citations)
  • Isolation, characterization, and purification to homogeneity of an endogenous polypeptide with agonistic action on benzodiazepine receptors (545 citations)
  • Isolation, sequencing, synthesis, and pharmacological characterization of two brain neuropeptides that modulate the action of morphine (536 citations)

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

Erminio Costa focuses on Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Biochemistry, Receptor and Pharmacology. His study looks at the relationship between Endocrinology and topics such as Enkephalin, which overlap with Opioid peptide and Hypothalamus. In Biochemistry, Erminio Costa works on issues like Biophysics, which are connected to Allosteric regulation.

His Pharmacology research integrates issues from Endogeny and Benzodiazepine. His Acetylcholine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Choline and Neuroscience, Cholinergic. His work deals with themes such as Phospholipid and Inositol, which intersect with Amino acid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Endocrinology (44.35%)
  • Internal medicine (44.35%)
  • Biochemistry (17.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1986-2016)?

  • Pharmacology (15.90%)
  • Receptor (16.32%)
  • Endocrinology (44.35%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Pharmacology, Receptor, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and GABAA receptor. The various areas that Erminio Costa examines in his Pharmacology study include Steroid hormone, DBI receptor and Metabolism. His studies deal with areas such as Neuropeptide, Antagonist and Nerve growth factor as well as Endocrinology.

His study in Cerebrospinal fluid, Central nervous system and Hypothalamic dysfunction is done as part of Internal medicine. His GABAA receptor research includes elements of Partial agonist, Protein subunit, Allosteric regulation and Recombinant DNA. Within one scientific family, Erminio Costa focuses on topics pertaining to Gene expression under Stimulation, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Molecular biology.

Between 1986 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Pathological gambling. A psychobiological study. (238 citations)
  • In primary cultures of cerebellar granule cells the activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate-sensitive glutamate receptors induces c-fos mRNA expression. (227 citations)
  • Mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptors regulate steroid biosynthesis. (224 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Neurotransmitter

Erminio Costa mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Benzodiazepine, Flumazenil and Flunitrazepam. His study in Central nervous system, Catecholamine, Neuropeptide, Receptor and Urinary system falls within the category of Internal medicine. His work carried out in the field of Receptor brings together such families of science as Gene expression and Cycloheximide.

Stimulation is the focus of his Endocrinology research. His Benzodiazepine study incorporates themes from Steroid biosynthesis, Neuroscience, Anxiogenic and GABAA receptor. Erminio Costa has included themes like Electrophysiology, Anxiolytic, Biophysics, gamma-Aminobutyric acid and beta-Carboline in his Flumazenil study.
