- Endocrinology
Hugh D. Piggins spends much of his time researching Circadian rhythm, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Suprachiasmatic nucleus and Circadian clock.
His Circadian rhythm study is concerned with the larger field of Neuroscience.
Internal medicine is frequently linked to Kinase in his study.
His work on Endocrinology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as MAPK/ERK pathway.
His study with Suprachiasmatic nucleus involves better knowledge in Hypothalamus.
His research in the fields of PER1 and Period Circadian Proteins overlaps with other disciplines such as Mechanism and Clockwork.
His most cited work include:
- The VPAC2 Receptor Is Essential for Circadian Function in the Mouse Suprachiasmatic Nuclei (448 citations)
- Setting clock speed in mammals: the CK1 epsilon tau mutation in mice accelerates circadian pacemakers by selectively destabilizing PERIOD proteins. (291 citations)
- Challenging the omnipotence of the suprachiasmatic timekeeper: are circadian oscillators present throughout the mammalian brain? (265 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Hugh D. Piggins mostly deals with Circadian rhythm, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience and Suprachiasmatic nucleus.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Circadian rhythm, Entrainment is strongly linked to Rhythm.
The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as In situ hybridization and Cell biology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Neuropeptide, Receptor and Vasoactive intestinal peptide in addition to Endocrinology.
His Suprachiasmatic nucleus study incorporates themes from Melatonin, Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide, Supraoptic nucleus and Neurotransmitter.
His work in Circadian clock addresses subjects such as Period, which are connected to disciplines such as PER2.
He most often published in these fields:
- Circadian rhythm (69.72%)
- Internal medicine (60.56%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Neuroscience, Circadian rhythm, Circadian clock, CLOCK and Suprachiasmatic nucleus are his primary areas of study.
Hugh D. Piggins works mostly in the field of Neuroscience, limiting it down to topics relating to Orexin and, in certain cases, Monoamine neurotransmitter.
His Circadian rhythm study combines Internal medicine and Endocrinology studies.
His Circadian clock research includes themes of Slice preparation and Cardiac electrophysiology.
His CLOCK research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Subfornical organ, Forebrain, Lamina terminalis and Thirst.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Kidney disease, Cryptochrome, Kidney and Period.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Acute suppressive and long-term phase modulation actions of orexin on the mammalian circadian clock. (84 citations)
