Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Neuroscience

Léon Plaghki focuses on Neuroscience, Laser-Evoked Potentials, Electrophysiology, Stimulus and Nociception. Léon Plaghki is interested in Sensory system, which is a branch of Neuroscience. His Electrophysiology research includes elements of Biophysics and Nociceptor.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Evoked potential, Neurophysiology and Threshold of pain in addition to Stimulus. The study of Nociception is intertwined with the study of Stimulation in a number of ways. His research integrates issues of P3b and Sensation in his study of Noxious stimulus.

His most cited work include:

  • The pain matrix reloaded: a salience detection system for the body. (549 citations)
  • Attentional modulation of the nociceptive processing into the human brain: selective spatial attention, probability of stimulus occurrence, and target detection effects on laser evoked potentials (234 citations)
  • Recommendations for using opioids in chronic non-cancer pain. (218 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Laser-Evoked Potentials, Nociception, Stimulation and Stimulus. His Neuroscience study often links to related topics such as Nociceptor. His Laser-Evoked Potentials research includes themes of Somatosensory system, Noxious stimulus, Electroencephalography, Sensation and Evoked potential.

Léon Plaghki interconnects Anterior cingulate cortex, P3b, Somatosensory evoked potential and P3a in the investigation of issues within Noxious stimulus. His Nociception research focuses on subjects like Anesthesia, which are linked to Hyperalgesia. His studies in Stimulation integrate themes in fields like Biophysics and C fibres.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (37.76%)
  • Laser-Evoked Potentials (32.17%)
  • Nociception (23.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Neuroscience (37.76%)
  • Nociception (23.08%)
  • Laser-Evoked Potentials (32.17%)

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

Léon Plaghki mostly deals with Neuroscience, Nociception, Laser-Evoked Potentials, Anesthesia and Stimulation. He combines subjects such as Heat stimulus and Diffuse noxious inhibitory control with his study of Neuroscience. His studies deal with areas such as Stimulus, Threshold of pain and Neural Conduction as well as Nociception.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pathological, Sensory system and Nervous system. His Laser-Evoked Potentials study incorporates themes from Somatosensory system, Event-related potential, Electroencephalography, Audiology and Fibromyalgia. His Stimulation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Nociceptor and C fibres.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The pain matrix reloaded: a salience detection system for the body. (549 citations)
  • Thermal detection thresholds of Aδ- and C-fibre afferents activated by brief CO2 laser pulses applied onto the human hairy skin (78 citations)
  • Asymptomatic small fiber neuropathy in diabetes mellitus: investigations with intraepidermal nerve fiber density, quantitative sensory testing and laser-evoked potentials. (65 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Neuroscience

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Nociception, Neuroscience, Laser-Evoked Potentials, Somatosensory system and Threshold of pain. The concepts of his Nociception study are interwoven with issues in Anesthesia, Electroencephalography, Stimulus, Stimulation and Neural Conduction. Léon Plaghki frequently studies issues relating to Diffuse noxious inhibitory control and Neuroscience.

His research in Laser-Evoked Potentials intersects with topics in Surgery, Urology, Diabetes mellitus, Nerve fiber and Quantitative sensory testing. His study in Somatosensory system is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nociceptive Stimulus, Electrophysiology and Sensory system. Léon Plaghki works mostly in the field of Nociceptive Stimulus, limiting it down to concerns involving Noxious stimulus and, occasionally, Sensation.
