What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Biochemistry
- Dopamine
- Internal medicine
His primary scientific interests are in Glutamate receptor, Pharmacology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Neuroscience.
His Glutamate receptor research includes elements of Agonist, Microdialysis, Glutamic acid and GABAA receptor.
His Pharmacology study incorporates themes from Cerebral cortex, GABAB receptor and GABAergic.
Internal medicine is frequently linked to Prefrontal cortex in his study.
His Neuroscience research includes themes of Extracellular, Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, Neurotransmission and Heteroreceptor.
His study looks at the relationship between Neurotransmitter and topics such as Dopamine, which overlap with Endocannabinoid system.
His most cited work include:
- Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol decreases extracellular GABA and increases extracellular glutamate and dopamine levels in the rat prefrontal cortex: an in vivo microdialysis study (185 citations)
- Pharmacokinetics and efficacy of ropivacaine continuous wound instillation after joint replacement surgery (171 citations)
- Receptor–receptor interactions within receptor mosaics. Impact on neuropsychopharmacology (165 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Pharmacology, Glutamate receptor, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Neuroscience.
His Pharmacology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agonist, gamma-Aminobutyric acid and In vitro.
As part of one scientific family, Luca Ferraro deals mainly with the area of Glutamate receptor, narrowing it down to issues related to the Microdialysis, and often Prefrontal cortex.
His Endocrinology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Neurotensin, Receptor antagonist and Cannabinoid receptor.
When carried out as part of a general Internal medicine research project, his work on Antagonist, Cholecystokinin, GABAergic and Striatum is frequently linked to work in Offspring, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5, Parkinson's disease and Neurotransmission.
He most often published in these fields:
- Pharmacology (36.08%)
- Glutamate receptor (34.54%)
- Endocrinology (31.44%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Pharmacology (36.08%)
- Neuroscience (29.90%)
- Heteroreceptor (10.31%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Luca Ferraro mainly focuses on Pharmacology, Neuroscience, Heteroreceptor, Bioavailability and Biophysics.
The concepts of his Pharmacology study are interwoven with issues in Glutamate receptor, Neuroinflammation and Mucous membrane of nose.
His study in Glutamate receptor is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Inflammation and Cannabinoid.
He studies Neuroscience, namely Hippocampus.
As a member of one scientific family, Luca Ferraro mostly works in the field of Heteroreceptor, focusing on Dopamine receptor D2 and, on occasion, Adenosine A2A receptor and Adenosine.
In his research, Luca Ferraro performs multidisciplinary study on Offspring and Endocrinology.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Geraniol Pharmacokinetics, Bioavailability and Its Multiple Effects on the Liver Antioxidant and Xenobiotic-Metabolizing Enzymes. (158 citations)
- Brain targeting of resveratrol by nasal administration of chitosan-coated lipid microparticles. (31 citations)
- Ultramicronized palmitoylethanolamide rescues learning and memory impairments in a triple transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease by exerting anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects (29 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Biochemistry
- Internal medicine
- Dopamine
His primary areas of investigation include Pharmacology, Bioavailability, Nasal administration, Palmitoylethanolamide and Neuroinflammation.
His Pharmacology study frequently links to related topics such as Mucous membrane of nose.
His Palmitoylethanolamide course of study focuses on Neurodegeneration and Analgesic, Nutraceutical, Symptomatic relief and Neurochemical.
Luca Ferraro combines subjects such as Hippocampus and Neuroscience with his study of Symptomatic relief.
His Neuroscience study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Neurotransmission.
Neuroinflammation and Glutamate receptor are frequently intertwined in his study.
