Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Internal medicine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Superior cervical ganglion, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Axotomy and Neuropeptide. His Superior cervical ganglion study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sympathetic ganglion, Spinal segment and Ganglion. His Tyrosine hydroxylase, Dopamine, Nicotinic Antagonist and Stimulation study in the realm of Internal medicine connects with subjects such as Autonomic nervous system.

His research on Endocrinology often connects related areas such as Receptor. His Axotomy research includes themes of Galanin, Vasoactive intestinal peptide and Leukemia inhibitory factor. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sciatic nerve, Acetylcholine and Regeneration.

His most cited work include:

  • Acute regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase by nerve activity and by neurotransmitters via phosphorylation. (456 citations)
  • Modulation of NMDA receptor-dependent calcium influx and gene expression through EphB receptors. (448 citations)
  • Leukemia inhibitory factor mediates an injury response but not a target-directed developmental transmitter switch in sympathetic neurons (231 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Superior cervical ganglion, Axotomy and Neuroscience. His Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vasoactive intestinal peptide and Nicotinic agonist. His work in the fields of Cholinergic, Norepinephrine and Sympathetic ganglion overlaps with other areas such as Enzyme assay and In vivo.

Richard E. Zigmond interconnects Cervical ganglia, Neuron and Ganglion in the investigation of issues within Superior cervical ganglion. His study looks at the relationship between Axotomy and topics such as Leukemia inhibitory factor, which overlap with Glycoprotein 130. The various areas that Richard E. Zigmond examines in his Neuroscience study include Neurite and Neurotransmission.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Endocrinology (66.91%)
  • Internal medicine (66.91%)
  • Superior cervical ganglion (61.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2020)?

  • Axotomy (30.88%)
  • Neuroscience (27.21%)
  • Superior cervical ganglion (61.03%)

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

Richard E. Zigmond focuses on Axotomy, Neuroscience, Superior cervical ganglion, Cell biology and Neurite. His research integrates issues of Nerve growth factor, Nerve injury, Neuropeptide, Leukemia inhibitory factor and Glycoprotein 130 in his study of Axotomy. His Superior cervical ganglion study falls within the topics of Endocrinology and Internal medicine.

His Endocrinology research focuses on subjects like Ciliary neurotrophic factor, which are linked to Vasoactive intestinal peptide, Norepinephrine Plasma Membrane Transport Proteins, Norepinephrine transporter and Cytokine Suppression. In Cell biology, Richard E. Zigmond works on issues like Wallerian degeneration, which are connected to Peripheral nerve injury and Chemokine. His Neurite research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Lesion and Dorsal root ganglion.

Between 2005 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • A critical role for macrophages near axotomized neuronal cell bodies in stimulating nerve regeneration. (107 citations)
  • The neuroimmunology of degeneration and regeneration in the peripheral nervous system (85 citations)
  • gp130 cytokines are positive signals triggering changes in gene expression and axon outgrowth in peripheral neurons following injury. (63 citations)

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

  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Internal medicine

Richard E. Zigmond mainly investigates Neuroscience, Wallerian degeneration, Neurite, Axotomy and Peripheral nervous system. Richard E. Zigmond works mostly in the field of Neuroscience, limiting it down to topics relating to Cytokine and, in certain cases, Signal transduction, Paracrine signalling and Autocrine signalling, as a part of the same area of interest. Richard E. Zigmond has researched Neurite in several fields, including Dorsal root ganglion and Cell biology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Sciatic nerve and Superior cervical ganglion in addition to Axotomy. His Superior cervical ganglion study contributes to a more complete understanding of Internal medicine. Endocrinology, Oncostatin M, Vasoactive intestinal peptide, Neuropeptide and Galanin is closely connected to Leukemia inhibitory factor in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Glycoprotein 130.
