Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Neuron
Neuroscience
Neurotransmitter

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Chemistry, Wakefulness, Orexin and Narcolepsy. His Neuroscience research includes themes of Postsynaptic potential and Orexin-A. His Postsynaptic potential research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sensory system and Thalamus.

In his papers, Mauro Serafin integrates diverse fields, such as Chemistry and Excitatory postsynaptic potential. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Neuron, Cholinergic and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential is strongly linked to Acetylcholine. In Cholinergic, he works on issues like Preoptic area, which are connected to Orexin receptor, Basal forebrain and Cholinergic neuron.

His most cited work include:

Identification of sleep-promoting neurons in vitro (390 citations)
Orexins/hypocretins excite basal forebrain cholinergic neurones (253 citations)
Orexins (hypocretins) directly excite tuberomammillary neurons. (171 citations)

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

Mauro Serafin mainly investigates Neuroscience, Chemistry, Vestibular system, Medial vestibular nucleus and Cholinergic. His studies in Neuroscience integrate themes in fields like Orexin, Acetylcholine and Postsynaptic potential. His work deals with themes such as Wakefulness and Endocrinology, which intersect with Orexin.

His work on Vestibulo–ocular reflex as part of general Vestibular system study is frequently linked to Gaze, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Cholinergic research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and Cell biology. He interconnects Guinea pig and Brainstem in the investigation of issues within Electrophysiology.

He most often published in these fields:

Neuroscience (89.09%)
Chemistry (36.36%)
Vestibular system (29.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2016)?

Neuroscience (89.09%)
Orexin (16.36%)
Internal medicine (20.00%)

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

Neuroscience, Orexin, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Chemistry are his primary areas of study. His Neuroscience study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Bicuculline. His Orexin research incorporates elements of Agonist, Acetylcholine, Pharmacology and Postsynaptic potential.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sleep deprivation, Total sleep deprivation and Neuron. His Neuron research incorporates themes from Cholinergic, Neurotransmitter, Neuropeptide, Locus coeruleus and Amygdala. He has included themes like Sleep in non-human animals and Hypocretin orexin in his Endocrinology study.

Between 2004 and 2016, his most popular works were:

Opposite effects of noradrenaline and acetylcholine upon hypocretin/orexin versus melanin concentrating hormone neurons in rat hypothalamic slices. (99 citations)
Excitatory action of hypocretin/orexin on neurons of the central medial amygdala. (80 citations)
The Wake-Promoting Hypocretin/Orexin Neurons Change Their Response to Noradrenaline after Sleep Deprivation (59 citations)
