Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron

Maria Fitzgerald mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Spinal cord, Anatomy, Stimulation and Anesthesia. Her Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Glutamate receptor, Infant pain and Nociception. Her work carried out in the field of Spinal cord brings together such families of science as Sciatic nerve, Central nervous system and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential.

Maria Fitzgerald has researched Anatomy in several fields, including Substance P, Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn and Sensory system. Her Stimulation study combines topics in areas such as Stimulus, Receptive field, Noxious stimulus and Brainstem. Her Anesthesia research integrates issues from Heel, Surgery, Intensive care and Audiology.

Her most cited work include:

  • The development of nociceptive circuits (555 citations)
  • Capsaicin and sensory neurones--a review. (460 citations)
  • Cortical Pain Responses in Human Infants (335 citations)

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

Neuroscience, Spinal cord, Anesthesia, Anatomy and Nociception are her primary areas of study. Her work deals with themes such as Endocrinology, Stimulation, Central nervous system, Receptive field and Sciatic nerve, which intersect with Spinal cord. Her studies in Stimulation integrate themes in fields like Stimulus and Hindlimb.

Her Anesthesia research incorporates elements of Surgery, Hyperalgesia and Noxious stimulus. Maria Fitzgerald interconnects Capsaicin and Substance P in the investigation of issues within Anatomy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Chronic pain and Brainstem in addition to Nociception.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (37.16%)
  • Spinal cord (37.16%)
  • Anesthesia (28.74%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Nociception (21.46%)
  • Neuroscience (37.16%)
  • Anesthesia (28.74%)

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

Maria Fitzgerald mainly investigates Nociception, Neuroscience, Anesthesia, Electroencephalography and Somatosensory system. The various areas that she examines in her Nociception study include Medulla, Stimulation, Chronic pain and Reflex. Her Neuroscience study is mostly concerned with Sensory system, Spinal cord and Brainstem.

Her work in Sensory system covers topics such as Receptive field which are related to areas like c-Fos and Sensory neuron. Her study in Spinal cord is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Serotonergic, Serotonin, Anatomy and Pathology. Her work on Hyperalgesia expands to the thematically related Anesthesia.

Between 2010 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A Shift in Sensory Processing that Enables the Developing Human Brain to Discriminate Touch from Pain (169 citations)
  • The consequences of pain in early life: injury-induced plasticity in developing pain pathways (148 citations)
  • Priming of adult pain responses by neonatal pain experience: maintenance by central neuroimmune activity (139 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience

Her main research concerns Nociception, Anesthesia, Neuroscience, Stimulation and Hyperalgesia. The Nociception study combines topics in areas such as Sensory processing, Endocannabinoid system, Reflex and Developmental plasticity. Her Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Opioidergic and Opioid.

Her research in Stimulation intersects with topics in Hindlimb, Nerve block and Nociceptive Reflex. Her Hyperalgesia research focuses on Neuropathic pain and how it relates to Peripheral nerve injury and Proinflammatory cytokine. Her Sensory stimulation therapy research includes elements of Functional electrical stimulation and Withdrawal reflex, Spinal cord.
