Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Dopamine
  • Neuron

Her primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Dopamine, Internal medicine, Substantia nigra and Neurotransmission. Her Neuroscience study incorporates themes from Synaptic plasticity, Glutamate receptor and Long-term potentiation. Her Dopamine study combines topics in areas such as Hyperpolarization and Membrane potential.

Nicola B. Mercuri interconnects Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Psychiatry and Polysomnography in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine. Her work carried out in the field of Endocrinology brings together such families of science as Agonist, Calcium and Electrophysiology. Her work deals with themes such as Basal ganglia and Parkinson's disease, which intersect with Dopaminergic.

Her most cited work include:

  • Long-term synaptic depression in the striatum: physiological and pharmacological characterization (594 citations)
  • Dopamine acts on D2 receptors to increase potassium conductance in neurones of the rat substantia nigra zona compacta. (538 citations)
  • The corticostriatal projection: from synaptic plasticity to dysfunctions of the basal ganglia (421 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Dopamine, Dopaminergic and Endocrinology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Synaptic plasticity, Long-term potentiation and Neurotransmission. Many of her studies involve connections with topics such as Pharmacology and Dopamine.

The concepts of her Endocrinology study are interwoven with issues in Agonist and Membrane potential. She combines subjects such as Hyperpolarization, Metabotropic glutamate receptor and Cell biology with her study of Substantia nigra. The study incorporates disciplines such as Glutamate receptor and Postsynaptic potential in addition to Excitatory postsynaptic potential.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (42.03%)
  • Internal medicine (28.16%)
  • Dopamine (22.57%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (28.16%)
  • Neuroscience (42.03%)
  • Parkinson's disease (9.94%)

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

Nicola B. Mercuri spends much of her time researching Internal medicine, Neuroscience, Parkinson's disease, Disease and Dopaminergic. Her Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Endocrinology, Oncology and Cardiology. Her Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Synaptic plasticity and Neurotransmission.

Her study in Synaptic plasticity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Long-term potentiation and ErbB. Nicola B. Mercuri has included themes like Oxidative stress, Neuroinflammation, Pathophysiology and Physical therapy in her Parkinson's disease study. Nicola B. Mercuri has researched Disease in several fields, including Sleep in non-human animals, Neurology, Depression and Obstructive sleep apnea.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Early structural and functional plasticity alterations in a susceptibility period of DYT1 dystonia mouse striatum (55 citations)
  • Subjective neurological symptoms frequently occur in patients with SARS-CoV2 infection. (50 citations)
  • Dysbiosis of gut microbiota in a selected population of Parkinson's patients (45 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Dopamine

Internal medicine, Neuroscience, Disease, Parkinson's disease and Synaptic plasticity are her primary areas of study. Her Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sleep in non-human animals, Neurology, Cognition and Oncology. Her work on Self-administration expands to the thematically related Neuroscience.

Her studies in Synaptic plasticity integrate themes in fields like Glutamatergic, Neurotransmission, Long-term potentiation, Endoplasmic reticulum and Hippocampus. When carried out as part of a general Dopamine research project, her work on Dopaminergic is frequently linked to work in Synaptopathy, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Nicola B. Mercuri studies Dopaminergic, namely Substantia nigra.
