Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Endocrinology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Acetylcholine, Cholinergic and Neuroscience. His study looks at the relationship between Internal medicine and topics such as Anesthesia, which overlap with Hippocampus, Striatum and Pharmacology. His Endocrinology research includes themes of Liberation and Taurine.

His studies in Acetylcholine integrate themes in fields like Microdialysis, Hippocampus, Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and Neurotransmitter. His Cholinergic research integrates issues from Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4, Neurodegeneration and Cholinesterase. He combines subjects such as Lesion and Cortex with his study of Cerebral cortex.

His most cited work include:

  • Selective butyrylcholinesterase inhibition elevates brain acetylcholine, augments learning and lowers Alzheimer β-amyloid peptide in rodent (467 citations)
  • Adenosine decreases aspartate and glutamate release from rat hippocampal slices (332 citations)
  • Effects of novelty and habituation on acetylcholine, GABA, and glutamate release from the frontal cortex and hippocampus of freely moving rats. (225 citations)

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

Giancarlo Pepeu focuses on Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Acetylcholine, Neuroscience and Cholinergic. His study involves Cerebral cortex, Microdialysis, Adenosine, Neurotransmitter and Stimulation, a branch of Endocrinology. His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Anesthesia and Biochemistry.

His research investigates the connection with Acetylcholine and areas like Hippocampus which intersect with concerns in Hippocampal formation. Giancarlo Pepeu interconnects Free nerve ending, Cholinesterase, Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4, Neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's disease in the investigation of issues within Cholinergic. The Cholinergic neuron study combines topics in areas such as Lesion and Basal forebrain.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Endocrinology (47.40%)
  • Internal medicine (47.40%)
  • Acetylcholine (45.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2019)?

  • Neuroscience (35.64%)
  • Cholinergic (28.37%)
  • Acetylcholine (45.67%)

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

Neuroscience, Cholinergic, Acetylcholine, Endocrinology and Internal medicine are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Neuroscience brings together such families of science as Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and Dementia. Giancarlo Pepeu has included themes like Alzheimer's disease, Signal transduction, Neurodegeneration and Astrocyte in his Cholinergic study.

His Acetylcholine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Forebrain, Microdialysis, Cholinesterase and Neurotransmitter. His research in the fields of Atropine, Tetrodotoxin and Carbachol overlaps with other disciplines such as Patella caerulea. His work in the fields of Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Autocrine signalling and Agonist overlaps with other areas such as Endocrine system and Growth hormone levels.

Between 2000 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Selective butyrylcholinesterase inhibition elevates brain acetylcholine, augments learning and lowers Alzheimer β-amyloid peptide in rodent (467 citations)
  • Effects of novelty and habituation on acetylcholine, GABA, and glutamate release from the frontal cortex and hippocampus of freely moving rats. (225 citations)
  • Proteomic identification of proteins specifically oxidized by intracerebral injection of amyloid β-peptide (1–42) into rat brain: Implications for Alzheimer’s disease (194 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Biochemistry

Giancarlo Pepeu mainly focuses on Cholinergic, Acetylcholine, Neuroscience, Hippocampus and Internal medicine. His work in Cholinergic addresses subjects such as Neurodegeneration, which are connected to disciplines such as Inflammation, Alzheimer's disease, Signal transduction, Microglia and Astrocyte. The various areas that he examines in his Acetylcholine study include Microdialysis, Cholinesterase and Neurotransmitter.

Many of his research projects under Neuroscience are closely connected to Explicit memory with Explicit memory, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His study looks at the relationship between Hippocampus and fields such as Biochemistry, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Giancarlo Pepeu frequently studies issues relating to Endocrinology and Internal medicine.
