Reidun Ursin

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Internal medicine
• Psychiatry
• Neuroscience

Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Sleep in non-human animals, Neuroscience and Neuroscience of sleep are her primary areas of study. Her work on Hippocampus and Dentate gyrus is typically connected to Chemistry and Sucrose intake as part of general Internal medicine study, connecting several disciplines of science. Her work carried out in the field of Sleep in non-human animals brings together such families of science as Insomnia, Gerontology and Shift work.

Her research in Neuroscience is mostly focused on Slow-wave sleep. As part of one scientific family, Reidun Ursin deals mainly with the area of Neuroscience of sleep, narrowing it down to issues related to the Sleep onset, and often Circadian rhythm. Her work in Body mass index covers topics such as Physiology which are related to areas like Anhedonia.

Her most cited work include:

• The association between sleep duration, body mass index and metabolic measures in the Hordaland Health Study (255 citations)
• The association between sleep duration, body mass index and metabolic measures in the Hordaland Health Study (255 citations)
• Serotonin and the sleep/wake cycle: special emphasis on microdialysis studies (237 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Slow-wave sleep, Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Sleep in non-human animals and Rapid eye movement sleep. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Slow-wave sleep, Chronic stress is strongly linked to Wakefulness. Her work on Circadian rhythm as part of general Endocrinology study is frequently connected to Chemistry, Serotonergic, 5-HT1A receptor and Alaproclate, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Her work on Hippocampus and Stimulation as part of general Internal medicine research is frequently linked to 8-OH-DPAT, Reuptake inhibitor and 5-HT receptor, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her work on Sleep in non-human animals is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Physiology. She interconnects Stressor, Obesity and Locomotor activity in the investigation of issues within Physiology.

She most often published in these fields:

• Slow-wave sleep (55.00%)
• Endocrinology (53.75%)
• Internal medicine (53.75%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2009-2016)?

• Insomnia (27.50%)
• Demography (26.25%)
• Gerontology (21.25%)

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

Her main research concerns Insomnia, Demography, Gerontology, Norwegian and Epidemiology. Her Insomnia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Middle age and Cohort study. Her Middle age study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sleep duration, Psychiatry, Risk factor and Biostatistics.

Much of her study explores Gerontology relationship to Body mass index. There are a combination of areas like Lithuanian and Register integrated together with her Norwegian study. Her Epidemiology research includes elements of Blood lipids, Logistic regression, Waist and Mood.

Between 2009 and 2016, her most popular works were:

• Midlife insomnia and subsequent mortality: the Hordaland health study. (41 citations)
• Midlife insomnia and subsequent mortality: the Hordaland health study. (41 citations)
• Early and Later Life Stress Alter Brain Activity and Sleep in Rats (35 citations)
