Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Dopamine
  • Internal medicine
  • Neurotransmitter

Michela "Micky" Marinelli mainly investigates Dopamine, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Pharmacology and Nucleus accumbens. Her Dopamine research is included under the broader classification of Neuroscience. Her work on Hypothalamus, Neuron, Rostromedial tegmental nucleus and Ventral pallidum as part of general Neuroscience study is frequently linked to Dorsal raphe nucleus, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Her study in Internal medicine focuses on Corticosterone in particular. She has included themes like Glucocorticoid, Addiction and Sensitization in her Pharmacology study. Her Nucleus accumbens study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Dopaminergic.

Her most cited work include:

  • Leptin Receptor Signaling in Midbrain Dopamine Neurons Regulates Feeding (721 citations)
  • FORMATION OF ACCUMBENS GluR2-LACKING AMPA RECEPTORS MEDIATES INCUBATION OF COCAINE CRAVING (646 citations)
  • Interaction between glucocorticoid hormones, stress and psychostimulant drugs. (366 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Dopamine, Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Neuroscience and Nucleus accumbens. Her Dopamine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agonist, Addiction and Glucocorticoid receptor. Her Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Receptor, Postsynaptic potential and Stimulant.

Her study looks at the intersection of Internal medicine and topics like Neuron with Neurochemical, Pars compacta and Substantia nigra. The concepts of her Nucleus accumbens study are interwoven with issues in Morphine, Pharmacology and AMPA receptor. Her Pharmacology study deals with Sensitization intersecting with Toxicity.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Dopamine (54.29%)
  • Endocrinology (52.86%)
  • Internal medicine (52.86%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Dopamine (54.29%)
  • Neuroscience (51.43%)
  • Self-administration (22.86%)

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

Her main research concerns Dopamine, Neuroscience, Self-administration, Ventral tegmental area and Addiction. Dopamine is closely attributed to Punishment in her work. Her research brings together the fields of Receptor and Neuroscience.

Her research in Self-administration intersects with topics in Extinction, Endocrinology and Nucleus accumbens. Michela "Micky" Marinelli combines subjects such as Hypothalamus and Brain region with her study of Ventral tegmental area. Michela "Micky" Marinelli has included themes like Drug discontinuation, Bursting, Neurotransmitter and Midbrain in her Addiction study.

Between 2009 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Calcium-permeable AMPA receptors are present in nucleus accumbens synapses after prolonged withdrawal from cocaine self-administration but not experimenter-administered cocaine. (130 citations)
  • Group I mGlur activation reverses cocaine-induced accumulation of calcium-permeable AMPA receptors in nucleus accumbens synapses via a protein kinase C-dependent mechanism (88 citations)
  • Heterogeneity of dopamine neuron activity across traits and states (84 citations)

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

  • Dopamine
  • Internal medicine
  • Neurotransmitter

Her primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Dopamine, Midbrain, Addiction and Excitatory postsynaptic potential. Her work carried out in the field of Midbrain brings together such families of science as Ventral tegmental area, Bursting and Electrophysiology. Her work deals with themes such as Sprague dawley, Drug discontinuation, NMDA receptor and Neuron, which intersect with Addiction.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5, Metabotropic glutamate receptor, Pharmacology and Neurotransmission in addition to Excitatory postsynaptic potential. Her studies deal with areas such as AMPA receptor and Nucleus accumbens as well as Pharmacology. Her Anesthesia study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Internal medicine and Endocrinology.
