What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Enzyme
- Neurotransmitter
Her main research concerns Cholinergic, Acetylcholine, Neuroscience, Endocrinology and Internal medicine.
As a member of one scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Cholinergic, focusing on Neurodegeneration and, on occasion, Neurite and Nitric oxide synthase.
The Acetylcholine study combines topics in areas such as Microdialysis, Thioperamide and Cholinesterase.
As part of one scientific family, Maria Grazia Giovannini deals mainly with the area of Microdialysis, narrowing it down to issues related to the Cholinergic neuron, and often Neuropeptide and Perfusion.
Her study in Endocrinology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Inflammation, Microglia and MAPK/ERK pathway.
Her studies deal with areas such as Glutamate receptor, GABAergic and Hippocampal formation as well as Hippocampus.
Her most cited work include:
- Effects of novelty and habituation on acetylcholine, GABA, and glutamate release from the frontal cortex and hippocampus of freely moving rats. (225 citations)
- Inhibition of cortical acetylcholine release and cognitive performance by histamine H3 receptor activation in rats (208 citations)
- Biosynthesis and degradation of peptides derived from Xenopus laevis prohormones. (197 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Maria Grazia Giovannini focuses on Neuroscience, Acetylcholine, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Pharmacology.
In her work, Neuron, Neurodegeneration, Neuroinflammation and Apoptosis is strongly intertwined with Microglia, which is a subfield of Neuroscience.
Maria Grazia Giovannini has researched Acetylcholine in several fields, including Cholinergic, Cholinesterase, Neurotransmitter, Cerebral cortex and Microdialysis.
Her Cholinergic study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and GABAergic.
Her study looks at the relationship between Endocrinology and topics such as Glutamate receptor, which overlap with NMDA receptor.
Many of her research projects under Internal medicine are closely connected to Thyrotropin-releasing hormone with Thyrotropin-releasing hormone, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
She most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (32.86%)
- Acetylcholine (32.14%)
- Endocrinology (28.57%)
