Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience
  • Neurotransmitter

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Chemistry, Electrophysiology, Wakefulness and Narcolepsy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Histaminergic and Postsynaptic potential. Michel Muhlethaler interconnects Vestibular pathway and Vestibular nuclei in the investigation of issues within Electrophysiology.

His Vestibular pathway study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Afterhyperpolarization, Medial vestibular nucleus and Plateau potentials. His Narcolepsy study incorporates themes from Orexin and Depolarization. He's looking at Cholinergic as part of his Internal medicine and Endocrinology and Cholinergic study.

His most cited work include:

  • Identification of sleep-promoting neurons in vitro (390 citations)
  • Orexins/hypocretins excite basal forebrain cholinergic neurones (253 citations)
  • Elevated Tribbles homolog 2–specific antibody levels in narcolepsy patients (230 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Chemistry, Vestibular system, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. His research in Cholinergic, Medial vestibular nucleus, Electrophysiology, Basal forebrain and Vestibular nuclei are components of Neuroscience. As a member of one scientific family, Michel Muhlethaler mostly works in the field of Cholinergic, focusing on Acetylcholine and, on occasion, Carbachol.

His Vestibular system study combines topics in areas such as Adaptation, Central nervous system and Sensory system. As part of one scientific family, Michel Muhlethaler deals mainly with the area of Endocrinology, narrowing it down to issues related to the Orexin, and often Postsynaptic potential, Narcolepsy and Wakefulness. His study looks at the relationship between Internal medicine and fields such as Neuron, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (83.54%)
  • Chemistry (32.91%)
  • Vestibular system (27.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2019)?

  • Neuroscience (83.54%)
  • Orexin (12.66%)
  • Chemistry (32.91%)

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

Michel Muhlethaler mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Orexin, Chemistry, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. The concepts of his Neuroscience study are interwoven with issues in Acetylcholine and Postsynaptic potential. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Nicotinic agonist is closely connected to Cholinergic in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Acetylcholine.

His research investigates the link between Postsynaptic potential and topics such as Excitatory postsynaptic potential that cross with problems in Amygdala, Hypothalamus and Orexin receptor. The various areas that Michel Muhlethaler examines in his Internal medicine study include Cataplexy, Narcolepsy and Neuron. His studies in Endocrinology integrate themes in fields like Immunology and Sleep disorder, Excessive daytime sleepiness.

Between 2003 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Elevated Tribbles homolog 2–specific antibody levels in narcolepsy patients (230 citations)
  • Exclusive Postsynaptic Action of Hypocretin-Orexin on Sublayer 6b Cortical Neurons (124 citations)
  • Opposite effects of noradrenaline and acetylcholine upon hypocretin/orexin versus melanin concentrating hormone neurons in rat hypothalamic slices. (99 citations)
