Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Luis M. Garcia-Segura focuses on Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Estrogen, Neuroprotection and Central nervous system. His Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Estrogen receptor and Glial fibrillary acidic protein. Hormone, Arcuate nucleus, Testosterone, Hippocampus and Hypothalamus are the core of his Internal medicine study.

His research in Estrogen intersects with topics in Synaptic plasticity, Neurogenesis and Signal transduction. His Neuroprotection research includes elements of Kainic acid, Aromatase and Nervous system. The concepts of his Neuroscience study are interwoven with issues in Neuroactive steroid, Neural development and Androgen.

His most cited work include:

  • The Distribution and Mechanism of Action of Ghrelin in the CNS Demonstrates a Novel Hypothalamic Circuit Regulating Energy Homeostasis (1343 citations)
  • Neuroprotection by estradiol. (837 citations)
  • Aromatase expression by astrocytes after brain injury: implications for local estrogen formation in brain repair. (329 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroprotection, Neuroscience and Central nervous system. His is doing research in Estrogen receptor, Aromatase, Ovariectomized rat, Arcuate nucleus and Glial fibrillary acidic protein, both of which are found in Internal medicine. His studies in Estrogen receptor integrate themes in fields like Receptor and Signal transduction.

His Glial fibrillary acidic protein study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Neuroglia and Astrocyte. His Endocrinology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Neuroactive steroid. His studies deal with areas such as Neurogenesis, Neuroinflammation, Neurodegeneration and Microglia as well as Neuroprotection.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (70.43%)
  • Endocrinology (69.68%)
  • Neuroprotection (29.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Endocrinology (69.68%)
  • Internal medicine (70.43%)
  • Neuroprotection (29.00%)

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

Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Neuroprotection, Neuroinflammation and Hormone are his primary areas of study. His Endocrinology study combines topics in areas such as Neuroactive steroid, Aromatase and Estrogen receptor. Estrogen receptor beta, GPER, Hypothalamus, Cerebral cortex and Dihydrotestosterone are among the areas of Internal medicine where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.

His Neuroprotection research is within the category of Neuroscience. His biological study deals with issues like Microglia, which deal with fields such as Gliosis. His study in Hormone is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Homeostasis, Pathogenesis, Dopaminergic, MPTP and Pathophysiology.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Regulation of astroglia by gonadal steroid hormones under physiological and pathological conditions (66 citations)
  • Levels and actions of neuroactive steroids in the nervous system under physiological and pathological conditions: Sex-specific features. (61 citations)
  • Sex differences in Parkinson's disease: Features on clinical symptoms, treatment outcome, sexual hormones and genetics. (41 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

Luis M. Garcia-Segura mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroinflammation, Neuroactive steroid and Neuroprotection. His studies link Neuroglobin with Internal medicine. His research on Endocrinology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Gliosis.

The various areas that he examines in his Neuroinflammation study include Palmitic acid, Estrogen receptor and Microglia. He has included themes like Cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, Glutamatergic, GABAergic, Neuroscience and Energy homeostasis in his Neuroactive steroid study. The Neuroprotection study combines topics in areas such as Nervous system, Central nervous system and Mitochondrion, Cell biology.
