Nicolas T. Petersen

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Internal medicine
• Neuroscience
• Central nervous system

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Stimulation, Reflex, H-reflex and Motor cortex. His work on Primary motor cortex as part of general Neuroscience research is frequently linked to Chemistry, SMA* and Body movement, bridging the gap between disciplines. He works in the field of Stimulation, namely Transcranial magnetic stimulation.

His Reflex research incorporates elements of Presynaptic inhibition, Brain stimulation and Anatomy. His study in H-reflex is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Facilitation, Reciprocal inhibition and Common peroneal nerve. His Motor cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Isometric exercise, Musculocutaneous nerve, Brachial plexus, Electromyography and Precuneus.

His most cited work include:

• Suppression of EMG activity by transcranial magnetic stimulation in human subjects during walking (209 citations)
• Task‐related changes in the effect of magnetic brain stimulation on spinal neurones in man. (187 citations)
• Is presynaptic inhibition distributed to corticospinal fibres in man (184 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Stimulation, H-reflex, Reflex and Motor cortex. His research investigates the link between Neuroscience and topics such as Biceps that cross with problems in Muscle contraction. His Stimulation research is mostly focused on the topic Transcranial magnetic stimulation.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Reciprocal inhibition, Motor neuron and Spasticity in addition to H-reflex. His work deals with themes such as Brain stimulation, Surgery and Spinal cord, which intersect with Reflex. His Motor cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Proprioception, Somatosensory system and Sensory system.

He most often published in these fields:

• Neuroscience (47.06%)
• Stimulation (35.29%)
• H-reflex (26.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

• Physical therapy (16.18%)
• Stroke (5.88%)
• High-intensity interval training (5.88%)

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

Nicolas Caesar Petersen mostly deals with Physical therapy, Stroke, High-intensity interval training, Lacunar stroke and Cardiorespiratory fitness. His High-intensity interval training research includes themes of Interval training and Aerobic exercise. Nicolas Caesar Petersen conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Lacunar stroke and Physical exercise through his works.

His Cardiorespiratory fitness study is focused on Internal medicine in general. His Disease research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Body mass index, Continuous training, Diabetes mellitus and Risk factor. He carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Test and Physical medicine and rehabilitation.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Voluntary running enhances glymphatic influx in awake behaving, young mice. (27 citations)
• Cortex-wide Changes in Extracellular Potassium Ions Parallel Brain State Transitions in Awake Behaving Mice (18 citations)
• Prevalence of impaired renal function in virologically suppressed people living with HIV compared with controls: the Copenhagen Comorbidity in HIV Infection (COCOMO) study. (5 citations)

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

• Internal medicine
• Neuroscience
• Pathology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Comorbidity, Internal medicine, Confidence interval, Hepatitis C and Population study. His Comorbidity research integrates issues from Odds ratio, Kidney disease and Renal function.
