Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Dopamine
  • Endocrinology

Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Pharmacology, Anesthesia and Dopamine are his primary areas of study. The various areas that Gian Luigi Gessa examines in his Endocrinology study include Cannabinoid, Antagonist and Serotonin. Gian Luigi Gessa focuses mostly in the field of Internal medicine, narrowing it down to topics relating to Biochemistry and, in certain cases, Selective breeding and Motor incoordination.

His work deals with themes such as Agonist, Receptor and Naltrexone, which intersect with Pharmacology. His Anesthesia research incorporates themes from Ethanol, Heroin, Alcohol withdrawal syndrome, Abstinence and Baclofen. Electrophysiology is closely connected to Premovement neuronal activity in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Dopamine.

His most cited work include:

  • Low doses of ethanol activate dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area. (690 citations)
  • Effects of Moderate Alcohol Consumption on the Central Nervous System (547 citations)
  • Appetite suppression and weight loss after the cannabinoid antagonist SR 141716 (485 citations)

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

Gian Luigi Gessa mostly deals with Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Pharmacology, Dopamine and Ethanol. His Endocrinology research includes elements of Receptor, Biochemistry and Cannabinoid receptor. His Pharmacology study incorporates themes from Agonist, Baclofen, GABAB receptor, Antagonist and Cannabinoid.

Dopamine is a subfield of Neuroscience that Gian Luigi Gessa studies. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Alcohol, Anesthesia, gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid and Oral administration. His Anesthesia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Alcohol withdrawal syndrome and Abstinence.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (47.88%)
  • Endocrinology (46.83%)
  • Pharmacology (40.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2020)?

  • Pharmacology (40.21%)
  • Internal medicine (47.88%)
  • Alcohol (14.81%)

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

Gian Luigi Gessa mainly focuses on Pharmacology, Internal medicine, Alcohol, Endocrinology and Agonist. His studies in Pharmacology integrate themes in fields like Cannabinoid, GABAB receptor, Antagonist, Cannabinoid receptor and Baclofen. His Cannabinoid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nucleus accumbens and Neuroscience.

His research integrates issues of Ethanol and Self-administration in his study of Alcohol. Endocrinology is frequently linked to Anxiolytic in his study. His work carried out in the field of Agonist brings together such families of science as NMDA receptor, Sedative and Prepulse inhibition.

Between 2003 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Endocannabinoids Mediate Presynaptic Inhibition of Glutamatergic Transmission in Rat Ventral Tegmental Area Dopamine Neurons through Activation of CB1 Receptors (386 citations)
  • Anxiolytic-Like Properties of the Anandamide Transport Inhibitor AM404 (196 citations)
  • Baclofen in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome: a comparative study vs diazepam. (166 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Dopamine
  • Pharmacology

His primary areas of study are Pharmacology, Alcohol, Cannabinoid, Cannabinoid receptor and Endocrinology. His study looks at the intersection of Pharmacology and topics like Alcohol dependence with -Naloxone. His Alcohol research incorporates elements of Ethanol, Baclofen, GABAB receptor and Self-administration.

Gian Luigi Gessa interconnects Body weight, Nucleus accumbens, Rimonabant and Receptor antagonist in the investigation of issues within Cannabinoid. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Internal medicine and Biochemistry. The various areas that Gian Luigi Gessa examines in his Internal medicine study include Alcohol preferring and Cortex.
