Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Neuron

His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Immunology and Excitatory postsynaptic potential. His work in Receptor, Vasopressin, Oxytocin, Hippocampal formation and Hypothalamus are all subfields of Internal medicine research. His Vasopressin research includes themes of Neuropeptide and Push–pull perfusion.

Much of his study explores Endocrinology relationship to Antagonist. He combines subjects such as Glutamate receptor, Depolarization, Postsynaptic potential and Neurotransmission with his study of Neuroscience. His Excitatory postsynaptic potential research integrates issues from Long-term potentiation and Membrane potential.

His most cited work include:

  • Identification and Functional Characterization of Brainstem Cannabinoid CB2 Receptors (1223 citations)
  • Epilepsy and brain inflammation. (349 citations)
  • Microglial activation and TNFα production mediate altered CNS excitability following peripheral inflammation (261 citations)

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

Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Vasopressin and Stimulation are his primary areas of study. His study in Lipopolysaccharide, Antagonist, Prostaglandin, Neurotransmitter and Endogeny is carried out as part of his studies in Internal medicine. His research integrates issues of Neuropeptide and Receptor in his study of Endocrinology.

He has researched Neuroscience in several fields, including Glutamate receptor and Neurotransmission. His study looks at the relationship between Vasopressin and fields such as Oxytocin, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biophysics and Postsynaptic potential in addition to Excitatory postsynaptic potential.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (59.42%)
  • Endocrinology (58.84%)
  • Neuroscience (31.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (31.88%)
  • Internal medicine (59.42%)
  • Endocrinology (58.84%)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Amygdala and Inflammation. The concepts of his Neuroscience study are interwoven with issues in Synaptic plasticity, Long-term potentiation, Microglia and Neurotransmission. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Analgesic and Chronic pain.

Quentin J. Pittman merges Endocrinology with Offspring in his research. His Amygdala study also includes fields such as

  • Fatty acid amide hydrolase that connect with fields like Endocannabinoid system, Anandamide and Corticosterone,
  • Multiple sclerosis that connect with fields like Sensory system, Morris water navigation task and Elevated plus maze. His Inflammation study incorporates themes from Receptor, Colitis and Epilepsy.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Epilepsy and brain inflammation. (349 citations)
  • Cytokines and brain excitability. (201 citations)
  • Microglia-dependent alteration of glutamatergic synaptic transmission and plasticity in the hippocampus during peripheral inflammation. (113 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Neuron

Quentin J. Pittman focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Receptor and Immunology. His Endocrinology study focuses on Supraoptic nucleus in particular. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in AMPA receptor, Long-term potentiation, Microglia and Calbindin.

His Microglia study combines topics in areas such as Glutamate receptor, Epileptogenesis and Cytokine. His research ties Hippocampus and Receptor together. His Excitatory postsynaptic potential study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Metabotropic glutamate receptor 1, Metaplasticity, Channelrhodopsin, Hypothalamus and Silent synapse.
