Overview

Horacio Vanegas is affiliated with the Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas in Venezuela. Their research primarily focuses on the field of Medicine, with a specific emphasis on Physiology.

The main topics covered in their work relate to Pain Mechanisms and Treatments. This area of study is reflected in their published research output.

Vanegas has contributed to scientific literature in the journal Gaceta Médica de Caracas, which is also among their frequent publication venues. There is one recorded publication in this venue:

  • Architecture and operation of a neuronal circuit that modulates pain (2020, Gaceta Médica de Caracas)

The researcher does not appear to have frequent co-authors listed, indicating a focus on individual contributions or collaborations not documented in the available data.

In recognition of their scientific contributions, Vanegas was awarded the title of Fellow by The World Academy of Sciences in 2007.
