Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Tuberomammillary nucleus, Anterograde tracing, Glutamate decarboxylase and Anatomy. His Neuroscience study frequently links to other fields, such as Malaise. The various areas that Fernando Torrealba examines in his Tuberomammillary nucleus study include Neuropeptide, Orexin, Orexin-A and Neurotransmitter.

He combines subjects such as Preoptic area, Basal forebrain, GABAergic, Locus coeruleus and Monoaminergic with his study of Anterograde tracing. The Anatomy study combines topics in areas such as Carotid body and Medulla oblongata.

His most cited work include:

  • Innervation of Histaminergic Tuberomammillary Neurons by GABAergic and Galaninergic Neurons in the Ventrolateral Preoptic Nucleus of the Rat (578 citations)
  • Innervation of Histaminergic Tuberomammillary Neurons by GABAergic and Galaninergic Neurons in the Ventrolateral Preoptic Nucleus of the Rat (578 citations)
  • Inactivation of the Interoceptive Insula Disrupts Drug Craving and Malaise Induced by Lithium (238 citations)

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

Neuroscience, Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Anatomy and Tuberomammillary nucleus are his primary areas of study. His Neuroscience research focuses on Histaminergic and how it relates to Hypothalamus. Fernando Torrealba interconnects Lesion and Premovement neuronal activity in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine.

His Optic tract study, which is part of a larger body of work in Anatomy, is frequently linked to Nodose Ganglion, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Tuberomammillary nucleus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in GABAergic, Locus coeruleus and Orexin. His Locus coeruleus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Anterograde tracing, Preoptic area, Monoaminergic and Basal forebrain.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (62.69%)
  • Endocrinology (34.33%)
  • Internal medicine (34.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Neuroscience (62.69%)
  • Insular cortex (13.43%)
  • Histaminergic (11.94%)

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

Fernando Torrealba mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Insular cortex, Histaminergic, Histamine and Internal medicine. Fernando Torrealba applies his multidisciplinary studies on Neuroscience and Context in his research. His research on Histaminergic focuses in particular on Tuberomammillary nucleus.

Fernando Torrealba works mostly in the field of Tuberomammillary nucleus, limiting it down to topics relating to Hypothalamus and, in certain cases, Addiction and Wakefulness. As a member of one scientific family, Fernando Torrealba mostly works in the field of Internal medicine, focusing on Endocrinology and, on occasion, Hypothermia and Tachycardia. As part of one scientific family, Fernando Torrealba deals mainly with the area of Lateral hypothalamus, narrowing it down to issues related to the Locus coeruleus, and often Amphetamine.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The Histamine H3 Receptor and Eating Behavior (60 citations)
  • A role for the insular cortex in long-term memory for context-evoked drug craving in rats. (54 citations)
  • The histaminergic tuberomammillary nucleus is critical for motivated arousal. (46 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron

Fernando Torrealba focuses on Neuroscience, Histamine, Histaminergic, Hypothalamus and Tuberomammillary nucleus. Neuroscience is closely attributed to Lesion in his work. His Histamine research is included under the broader classification of Internal medicine.

His studies in Insular cortex integrate themes in fields like Cognitive psychology, Neural activity and Insula. His Arousal study combines topics in areas such as Eating disorders, Histamine H3 receptor, Endocrinology and Receptor. His Infralimbic cortex study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Wakefulness and Addiction.
