Luis de Lecea mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Optogenetics, Neuropeptide, Lateral hypothalamus and Wakefulness.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endocrinology and Internal medicine.
The Optogenetics study combines topics in areas such as Biological neural network and Dopaminergic, Dopamine, Ventral tegmental area.
His Neuropeptide study combines topics in areas such as Dentate gyrus, Self-administration, Parvalbumin and Somatostatin.
His studies in Lateral hypothalamus integrate themes in fields like Parabrachial area and Raphe nuclei.
His research in Wakefulness intersects with topics in Rapid eye movement sleep, Locus coeruleus and Photostimulation.
His most cited work include:
- Neurons Containing Hypocretin (Orexin) Project to Multiple Neuronal Systems (2792 citations)
- Phasic Firing in Dopaminergic Neurons Is Sufficient for Behavioral Conditioning (954 citations)
- Neural substrates of awakening probed with optogenetic control of hypocretin neurons (941 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Neuropeptide, Arousal, Endocrinology and Internal medicine.
Many of his studies on Neuroscience involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Orexin.
Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Somatostatin under Neuropeptide, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Hippocampal formation.
As a member of one scientific family, Luis de Lecea mostly works in the field of Arousal, focusing on Sleep in non-human animals and, on occasion, Circadian rhythm.
In the subject of general Endocrinology, his work in Ghrelin, Cholinergic and Acetylcholine is often linked to Leptin, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
Luis de Lecea works mostly in the field of Wakefulness, limiting it down to concerns involving Narcolepsy and, occasionally, Orexin receptor.
He most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (69.43%)
- Neuropeptide (29.02%)
- Arousal (26.94%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Neuroscience (69.43%)
- Arousal (26.94%)
- Optogenetics (23.83%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Luis de Lecea spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Arousal, Optogenetics, Sleep in non-human animals and Wakefulness.
His Neuroscience study incorporates themes from Neuropeptide and Orexin.
His Arousal research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Addiction, Vigilance, Hypocretin orexin and Anxiety.
His Optogenetics study which covers Stimulation that intersects with Gene knockdown, Lateral parabrachial nucleus and Gene silencing.
His research investigates the link between Wakefulness and topics such as Sleep wake that cross with problems in Neuronal circuits.
Luis de Lecea has included themes like GABAergic and Immune system in his Lateral hypothalamus study.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Parallel circuits from the bed nuclei of stria terminalis to the lateral hypothalamus drive opposing emotional states. (77 citations)
- Neuronal Mechanisms for Sleep/Wake Regulation and Modulatory Drive (66 citations)
- In vivo cell type-specific CRISPR knockdown of dopamine beta hydroxylase reduces locus coeruleus evoked wakefulness. (43 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Orexin, Wakefulness, Optogenetics and Arousal.
Luis de Lecea mostly deals with Neuronal circuits in his studies of Neuroscience.
The study incorporates disciplines such as GABAergic, Extended amygdala, Stria terminalis and Lateral hypothalamus in addition to Orexin.
His Wakefulness research incorporates themes from Sleep wake, Circadian rhythm and Stimulation.
His research integrates issues of Analysis of variance, Endocrinology, Extinction and Addiction, Craving in his study of Arousal.
His Neuropeptide study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hypothalamus, Biological neural network and Nerve net.
