Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Central nervous system
  • Neuron

Lucienne Léger mostly deals with Neuroscience, Nucleus, Locus coeruleus, GABAergic and Internal medicine. Her Slow-wave sleep and Gigantocellular reticular nucleus study in the realm of Neuroscience interacts with subjects such as Horseradish peroxidase and Glutamatergic. Her research integrates issues of Cholinergic and Brainstem in her study of Nucleus.

The Locus coeruleus study combines topics in areas such as Diencephalon, Afferent, Anatomy and Organelle. Her Internal medicine research incorporates themes from Wakefulness, Endocrinology and Narcolepsy. Her work on Zona incerta as part of general Hypothalamus study is frequently linked to Dorsal raphe nucleus, Energy homeostasis, Melanin-concentrating hormone and Sleep Stages, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Her most cited work include:

  • A role of melanin-concentrating hormone producing neurons in the central regulation of paradoxical sleep. (357 citations)
  • Afferent projections to the cat locus coeruleus as visualized by the horseradish peroxidase technique (244 citations)
  • The neuronal network responsible for paradoxical sleep and its dysfunctions causing narcolepsy and rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder (192 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Raphe nuclei and Nucleus. Her study in the field of Hypothalamus, Wakefulness and Sleep in non-human animals also crosses realms of GABAergic and Monoaminergic. As a part of the same scientific family, Lucienne Léger mostly works in the field of Internal medicine, focusing on Slow-wave sleep and, on occasion, Tonic.

Many of her research projects under Endocrinology are closely connected to Delta sleep-inducing peptide with Delta sleep-inducing peptide, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Her study in Raphe nuclei is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both 5-HT receptor and Dorsal raphe nucleus. Lucienne Léger is interested in Locus coeruleus, which is a field of Nucleus.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (55.93%)
  • Internal medicine (57.63%)
  • Endocrinology (57.63%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2016)?

  • Neuroscience (55.93%)
  • Sleep in non-human animals (15.25%)
  • Endocrinology (57.63%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Sleep in non-human animals, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Melanin-concentrating hormone. The Hippocampal formation, Hippocampus and Nucleus research Lucienne Léger does as part of her general Neuroscience study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Glutamatergic and Population, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Her Hippocampus research integrates issues from Neuroscience of sleep and Anesthesia.

Her work deals with themes such as Cholinergic, Electroencephalography and Brainstem, which intersect with Nucleus. Her work carried out in the field of Sleep in non-human animals brings together such families of science as Claustrum, Cortex and Supramammillary Nucleus. Her Endocrinology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cataplexy and Gamma hydroxybutyrate.

Between 2010 and 2016, her most popular works were:

  • The neuronal network responsible for paradoxical sleep and its dysfunctions causing narcolepsy and rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder (192 citations)
  • Brainstem mechanisms of paradoxical (REM) sleep generation. (93 citations)
  • The supramammillary nucleus and the claustrum activate the cortex during REM sleep (67 citations)
