Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Marco A. M. Prado mostly deals with Cell biology, Acetylcholine, Cholinergic, Biochemistry and Neuroscience. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Endocytic cycle, Endocytosis and Synaptic vesicle. His specific area of interest is Acetylcholine, where Marco A. M. Prado studies Vesicular acetylcholine transporter.

As part of his research on Cholinergic, studies on Endocrinology and Internal medicine are part of the effort. His Peptide sequence, Proteasome, Heat shock protein and Hsp90 study in the realm of Biochemistry interacts with subjects such as Extramural. His research ties Long-term potentiation and Neuroscience together.

His most cited work include:

  • Physiology of the Prion Protein (482 citations)
  • Exercise-linked FNDC5/irisin rescues synaptic plasticity and memory defects in Alzheimer's models (177 citations)
  • Mice Deficient for the Vesicular Acetylcholine Transporter Are Myasthenic and Have Deficits in Object and Social Recognition (173 citations)

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

Marco A. M. Prado mainly focuses on Acetylcholine, Cholinergic, Cell biology, Vesicular acetylcholine transporter and Neuroscience. Marco A. M. Prado has researched Acetylcholine in several fields, including Ouabain, Biophysics, Synaptic vesicle and Neurotransmission. His research investigates the connection between Cholinergic and topics such as Inflammation that intersect with problems in Bronchoalveolar lavage.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endocytic cycle, Endocytosis and Biochemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Striatum and Hippocampus as well as Vesicular acetylcholine transporter. His work in Neuroscience covers topics such as Long-term potentiation which are related to areas like Synaptic plasticity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Acetylcholine (33.33%)
  • Cholinergic (31.69%)
  • Cell biology (34.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cholinergic (31.69%)
  • Acetylcholine (33.33%)
  • Cell biology (34.98%)

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

His main research concerns Cholinergic, Acetylcholine, Cell biology, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. His Cholinergic study contributes to a more complete understanding of Neuroscience. In the field of Acetylcholine, his study on Vesicular acetylcholine transporter overlaps with subjects such as Physiological function.

His Vesicular acetylcholine transporter research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neuromuscular junction and Synaptic vesicle. His Cell biology study focuses on Phosphoprotein in particular. In general Internal medicine study, his work on Ependymal Cell and Glutamate receptor often relates to the realm of Brain morphometry and Eating disorders, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Exercise-linked FNDC5/irisin rescues synaptic plasticity and memory defects in Alzheimer's models (177 citations)
  • Optimizing Nervous System-Specific Gene Targeting with Cre Driver Lines: Prevalence of Germline Recombination and Influencing Factors. (31 citations)
  • An optimized acetylcholine sensor for monitoring in vivo cholinergic activity. (27 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cholinergic, Acetylcholine, Neuroscience, In vivo and Cell biology. His work in Cholinergic tackles topics such as Cytokine which are related to areas like Endocrinology, Inflammation, Acetylcholine transport and Peripheral blood mononuclear cell. His work in Acetylcholine addresses subjects such as Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, which are connected to disciplines such as Neuroinflammation, Microglia, G protein-coupled receptor, Pharmacology and Innate immune system.

His Cognition study in the realm of Neuroscience connects with subjects such as Cognitive neuroscience of visual object recognition, Object based and Spatial memory. He is involved in the study of Cell biology that focuses on Signal transduction in particular. His Receptor study incorporates themes from Bone morphogenetic protein 4 and Neuroprotection.
