What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Neuroscience
- Endocrinology
Peter Meerlo mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Sleep deprivation, Social stress, Social defeat and Aggression.
His research integrates issues of Sleep disorder and Non-rapid eye movement sleep in his study of Sleep deprivation.
His Sleep disorder research incorporates elements of Insomnia and Memory consolidation.
His Social defeat research focuses on subjects like Developmental psychology, which are linked to Social relation and Stressor.
As part of one scientific family, Peter Meerlo deals mainly with the area of Aggression, narrowing it down to issues related to the Open field, and often Elevated plus maze, Corticosterone, Anhedonia and Body weight.
The concepts of his Sleep restriction study are interwoven with issues in Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and Mood disorders.
His most cited work include:
- Stress revisited: a critical evaluation of the stress concept (808 citations)
- Restricted and disrupted sleep: Effects on autonomic function, neuroendocrine stress systems and stress responsivity (530 citations)
- Regulation of adult neurogenesis by stress, sleep disruption, exercise and inflammation: Implications for depression and antidepressant action (355 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Sleep deprivation, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience and Sleep in non-human animals.
His studies in Sleep deprivation integrate themes in fields like Slow-wave sleep, Sleep disorder, Memory consolidation and Non-rapid eye movement sleep.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Aggression and Neuroprotection.
His research links Synaptic plasticity with Neuroscience.
His study on Wakefulness is often connected to Light pollution as part of broader study in Sleep in non-human animals.
Peter Meerlo focuses mostly in the field of Circadian rhythm, narrowing it down to topics relating to Social stress and, in certain cases, Stressor.
He most often published in these fields:
- Sleep deprivation (38.92%)
- Internal medicine (38.38%)
- Endocrinology (38.38%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Sleep in non-human animals (28.65%)
- Neuroscience (34.05%)
- Sleep deprivation (38.92%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Sleep in non-human animals, Neuroscience, Sleep deprivation, Circadian rhythm and Sleep restriction.
In general Sleep in non-human animals study, his work on Non-rapid eye movement sleep and Wakefulness often relates to the realm of Light pollution, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His Synaptic plasticity research extends to the thematically linked field of Neuroscience.
His study in Sleep deprivation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Endocrinology, Depression, Memory consolidation, Internal medicine and Rodent.
Peter Meerlo combines subjects such as Coping, Social stress and Aggression with his study of Internal medicine.
His Circadian rhythm research includes themes of Sleep debt, Rhythm and Shift work.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Sleep deprivation and hippocampal vulnerability: Changes in neuronal plasticity, neurogenesis and cognitive function (147 citations)
- Sleep deprivation causes memory deficits by negatively impacting neuronal connectivity in hippocampal area CA1 (106 citations)
- The role of sleep in regulating structural plasticity and synaptic strength: Implications for memory and cognitive function (84 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Neuroscience
- Endocrinology
Peter Meerlo focuses on Neuroscience, Sleep in non-human animals, Sleep deprivation, Sleep restriction and Hippocampal formation.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Neuroscience, Synaptic plasticity are connected with Long-term potentiation and other disciplines.
His studies deal with areas such as Arousal, Mood disorders, Depression and Chronobiology as well as Sleep in non-human animals.
His Sleep deprivation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Insomnia and Insulin resistance.
His Sleep restriction research includes elements of Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Circadian rhythm, Sleep debt and Physiology.
He interconnects Neurotrophic factors, Hippocampus, Central nervous system and Immunology in the investigation of issues within Hippocampal formation.
