Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Neuroscience

Her main research concerns Neuroscience, Developmental psychology, Neurotrophic factors, Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and Internal medicine. As a member of one scientific family, Francesca Cirulli mostly works in the field of Neuroscience, focusing on Neurotrophin and, on occasion, Nerve growth factor and Neuroplasticity. Francesca Cirulli interconnects Social relation, Psychological intervention, Social environment, Adaptation and Environmental enrichment in the investigation of issues within Developmental psychology.

Her Neurotrophic factors research integrates issues from Emotionality, Anxiety, Fluoxetine, Hippocampus and Chronic stress. The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Neurogenesis and Endocrinology. Francesca Cirulli is involved in the study of Endocrinology that focuses on Doublecortin in particular.

Her most cited work include:

  • Postnatal repeated maternal deprivation produces age-dependent changes of brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in selected rat brain regions. (265 citations)
  • Early disruption of the mother -infant relationship: effects on brain plasticity and implications for psychopathology (244 citations)
  • Glucocorticoid-related molecular signaling pathways regulating hippocampal neurogenesis. (194 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Developmental psychology and Nerve growth factor. Her study connects Mood disorders and Internal medicine. Her work in Endocrinology covers topics such as Offspring which are related to areas like Obesity.

Her study focuses on the intersection of Neuroscience and fields such as Neurotrophic factors with connections in the field of Neuroplasticity. Her Developmental psychology study combines topics in areas such as Social relation and Environmental enrichment. Her work carried out in the field of Nerve growth factor brings together such families of science as Growth factor, Neurochemical and Neurotrophin.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (37.82%)
  • Endocrinology (36.79%)
  • Neuroscience (17.10%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (37.82%)
  • Endocrinology (36.79%)
  • Psychological intervention (10.88%)

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

Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Psychological intervention, Prenatal stress and Mental health are her primary areas of study. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Offspring and Trehalose. Francesca Cirulli studies Cerebral cortex which is a part of Endocrinology.

The concepts of her Psychological intervention study are interwoven with issues in Psychosocial, Disease and Gerontology. Francesca Cirulli combines subjects such as Inflammation, Hippocampus and Prefrontal cortex with her study of Prenatal stress. Francesca Cirulli works mostly in the field of Hippocampus, limiting it down to topics relating to microRNA and, in certain cases, Neuroscience, as a part of the same area of interest.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The impact of quarantine and physical distancing following covid-19 on mental health: Study protocol of a multicentric italian population trial (36 citations)
  • Effects of the lockdown on the mental health of the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy: Results from the COMET collaborative network. (28 citations)
  • Health and Aging: Unifying Concepts, Scores, Biomarkers and Pathways. (26 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Psychiatry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Psychological intervention, Gerontology, Mental health, Cognition and Psychiatry. Her Psychological intervention research includes themes of Biomarker and Scopus. Her research in Gerontology intersects with topics in Physical health and MEDLINE.

Her Mental health research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gut flora, Obesity, Mood disorders and Bioinformatics. Her Cognition study incorporates themes from Conceptual framework and Disease. Her study in the field of Psychosocial, Global mental health and Anxiety also crosses realms of Pandemic and Context.
