Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Central nervous system
  • Neuroscience

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Stimulation, Pedunculopontine nucleus, Spinal cord and Anatomy. Robert D. Skinner performs multidisciplinary studies into Neuroscience and Chemistry in his work. His Stimulation study combines topics in areas such as Medulla and Central nervous system.

His studies deal with areas such as Lumbar, Anesthesia and Antidromic as well as Spinal cord. His work deals with themes such as Stimulus and Evoked potential, which intersect with Reticular activating system. His study in Midbrain is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Substantia nigra and Nucleus.

His most cited work include:

  • In vivo and in vitro evidence supporting a role for the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 as a driving force in Alzheimer pathogenesis (239 citations)
  • The mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) in the rat (222 citations)
  • The pedunculopontine nucleus—Auditory input, arousal and pathophysiology (189 citations)

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

Neuroscience, Anesthesia, Anatomy, Stimulation and Pedunculopontine nucleus are his primary areas of study. Robert D. Skinner incorporates Neuroscience and Chemistry in his research. The concepts of his Anesthesia study are interwoven with issues in Stroke, Tissue plasminogen activator, Dodecafluoropentane Emulsion and Ischemia.

His Anatomy study incorporates themes from Cord, Medial longitudinal fasciculus, Reticular formation and Spinal cord. Robert D. Skinner has researched Spinal cord in several fields, including Hindlimb, Central nervous system and Transplantation. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Stimulation, concentrating on Mesencephalic locomotor region and intersecting with Treadmill.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (40.24%)
  • Anesthesia (23.08%)
  • Anatomy (20.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Anesthesia (23.08%)
  • Stroke (13.02%)
  • Dodecafluoropentane Emulsion (8.88%)

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

Robert D. Skinner mainly investigates Anesthesia, Stroke, Dodecafluoropentane Emulsion, Internal medicine and Cardiology. Robert D. Skinner performs integrative study on Anesthesia and Dodecafluoropentane in his works. His study in the fields of Middle cerebral artery under the domain of Stroke overlaps with other disciplines such as Stroke volume.

The Dodecafluoropentane Emulsion study which covers Surgery that intersects with Righting reflex and Posterior cerebral artery. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hyperreflexia and Endocrinology. His research in Cardiology focuses on subjects like Ischemic stroke, which are connected to Perfusion and Digital subtraction angiography.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Successful Microbubble Sonothrombolysis Without Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator in a Rabbit Model of Acute Ischemic Stroke (78 citations)
  • Dodecafluoropentane emulsion decreases infarct volume in a rabbit ischemic stroke model (31 citations)
  • Progress in Dodecafluoropentane Emulsion as a Neuroprotective Agent in a Rabbit Stroke Model (23 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Central nervous system
  • Neuron

His primary areas of investigation include Anesthesia, Stroke, Tissue plasminogen activator, Middle cerebral artery and Internal carotid artery. He interconnects Spinal cord injury and Cerebral angiography in the investigation of issues within Anesthesia. His work on Dodecafluoropentane Emulsion as part of his general Stroke study is frequently connected to Stroke volume, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His Tissue plasminogen activator research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Thrombolysis and Fibrinolytic agent. His study looks at the relationship between Internal carotid artery and fields such as Angiography, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His work on Stimulation and Tibial nerve as part of general Internal medicine research is frequently linked to Motorized bicycle, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
