Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Central nervous system
  • Neuron

His main research concerns Spinal cord, Locus coeruleus, Neuroscience, Nociception and Central nervous system. The various areas that Herbert K. Proudfit examines in his Spinal cord study include Immunocytochemistry and Anatomy. In his work, Idazoxan, Medulla, Nucleus and Lateral reticular nucleus is strongly intertwined with Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn, which is a subfield of Locus coeruleus.

His Nociception study incorporates themes from Morphine and Pharmacology. In his research, he undertakes multidisciplinary study on Pharmacology and Chemistry. The concepts of his Central nervous system study are interwoven with issues in Pons, Lumbar and Brainstem.

His most cited work include:

  • Nociceptive responses to high and low rates of noxious cutaneous heating are mediated by different nociceptors in the rat: behavioral evidence. (366 citations)
  • Morphine analgesia: blockade by raphe magnus lesions. (332 citations)
  • The function of noradrenergic neurons in mediating antinociception induced by electrical stimulation of the locus coeruleus in two different sources of Sprague-Dawley rats (157 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Chemistry, Neuroscience, Nociception, Nucleus raphe magnus and Endocrinology. His Neuroscience research focuses on Medulla and how it connects with Medulla oblongata, Neuropeptide and Enkephalin. His Nociception study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Morphine, Anesthesia and Central nervous system.

His Nucleus raphe magnus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cholinergic, Serotonergic cell groups, Carbachol, Acetylcholine and Dorsal raphe nucleus. His Endocrinology research incorporates themes from Internal medicine, Antagonist and Adenosine receptor. His Spinal cord study combines topics in areas such as Immunocytochemistry and Anatomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Chemistry (65.62%)
  • Neuroscience (54.69%)
  • Nociception (43.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1995-2013)?

  • Neuroscience (54.69%)
  • Chemistry (65.62%)
  • Periaqueductal gray (12.50%)

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

Herbert K. Proudfit mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Chemistry, Periaqueductal gray, Biotinylated dextran amine and Microinjection. His Neuroscience course of study focuses on Tyrosine hydroxylase and Anterograde tracing. Chemistry is connected with Nociception, Central nervous system, Medulla, Yohimbine and Spinal cord in his study.

His research in Nociception intersects with topics in Morphine, Anesthesia and Pharmacology. In his research on the topic of Biotinylated dextran amine, Axon terminal is strongly related with Pons. Herbert K. Proudfit studied Microinjection and Substance P that intersect with Axon, Cellular neuroscience and Rostral ventromedial medulla.

Between 1995 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • Nociceptive responses to high and low rates of noxious cutaneous heating are mediated by different nociceptors in the rat: behavioral evidence. (366 citations)
  • Topographic architecture of stress-related pathways targeting the noradrenergic locus coeruleus. (146 citations)
  • Projections of neurons in the periaqueductal gray to pontine and medullary catecholamine cell groups involved in the modulation of nociception. (119 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Central nervous system
  • Pathology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Chemistry, Nociception, Pharmacology and Periaqueductal gray. His Neuroscience research includes elements of Medulla, Hyperalgesia, Microinjection and Opioid. His work carried out in the field of Nociception brings together such families of science as Yohimbine, Enkephalin and Partial agonist.

His Pharmacology research integrates issues from Nerve conduction velocity and Sensory receptor. Herbert K. Proudfit has researched Periaqueductal gray in several fields, including Stria terminalis, Opioid peptide, Solitary tract, Solitary nucleus and Locus coeruleus. His work in Locus coeruleus addresses issues such as Pons, which are connected to fields such as Nociceptor.
