Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter

Gregory D. Funk mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Respiratory system, Rhythm, Brainstem and Internal medicine. His work deals with themes such as CNQX and Respiratory control, which intersect with Neuroscience. His Respiratory system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Analgesic, Anesthesia and Breathing.

The various areas that Gregory D. Funk examines in his Brainstem study include Agonist, Bicuculline, Kainate receptor and Trigeminal nerve. Gregory D. Funk interconnects Superior colliculus and Endocrinology in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine. His Pre-Bötzinger complex research incorporates elements of Ventral respiratory group and Bursting.

His most cited work include:

  • Synaptic Control of Motoneuronal Excitability (520 citations)
  • Generation and transmission of respiratory oscillations in medullary slices: role of excitatory amino acids (286 citations)
  • Pacemaker behavior of respiratory neurons in medullary slices from neonatal rat (169 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Respiratory system, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Anesthesia. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Receptor and Rhythm. Gregory D. Funk has researched Respiratory system in several fields, including Breathing, Hypoxia, Apnea and Respiration.

While the research belongs to areas of Internal medicine, Gregory D. Funk spends his time largely on the problem of Motor neuron, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Electrophysiology. His research in Endocrinology intersects with topics in Agonist, Adenosine receptor and Long-term potentiation. His Anesthesia study incorporates themes from Ampakine, Physiology and Pharmacology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (73.50%)
  • Respiratory system (41.88%)
  • Internal medicine (28.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (73.50%)
  • Respiratory system (41.88%)
  • Hypoxia (11.11%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Respiratory system, Hypoxia, Purinergic receptor and Excitatory postsynaptic potential. His work deals with themes such as Control of respiration and Hypoxic ventilatory response, which intersect with Neuroscience. His Respiratory system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Anesthesia, Breathing and Respiration.

His research in Hypoxia tackles topics such as Homeostasis which are related to areas like Raphe, Cardiorespiratory fitness, Neuron, Gliotransmitter and P2 receptor. His research integrates issues of Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Vertebrate and Central pattern generator in his study of Purinergic receptor. His work carried out in the field of Pre-Bötzinger complex brings together such families of science as Linopirdine, Medulla, Breathing and M current.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Release of ATP by pre-Bötzinger complex astrocytes contributes to the hypoxic ventilatory response via a Ca2+ -dependent P2Y1 receptor mechanism. (43 citations)
  • On the existence of a central respiratory oxygen sensor. (43 citations)
  • CrossTalk proposal: a central hypoxia sensor contributes to the excitatory hypoxic ventilatory response (11 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter

Gregory D. Funk spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Hypoxic ventilatory response, Hypoxia, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Control of respiration. His work on Parafacial, Brainstem and Ventral respiratory group as part of general Neuroscience research is frequently linked to Pedunculopontine nucleus and Periaqueductal gray, bridging the gap between disciplines. Gregory D. Funk combines subjects such as Pre-Bötzinger complex, Homeostasis, P2 receptor, Gliotransmitter and Purinergic signalling with his study of Hypoxic ventilatory response.

Gregory D. Funk interconnects Anesthesia, Denervation, Central nervous system, Respiratory system and Chemoreceptor in the investigation of issues within Hypoxia. His Excitatory postsynaptic potential research is under the purview of Internal medicine. The study incorporates disciplines such as Purinergic receptor, Crosstalk and Astrocyte in addition to Control of respiration.
