Overview

Robin M. McAllen is affiliated with the University of Melbourne in Australia and has contributed significantly to the fields of neuroscience and medicine. Their research spans several subfields, including neurology, cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, endocrine and autonomic systems, molecular biology, and cellular and molecular neuroscience.

Their scholarly work addresses a variety of topics, with a notable focus on vagus nerve stimulation research, heart rate variability and autonomic control, and the neuroscience of respiration and sleep. Other areas of study include nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, neuropeptides and animal physiology, photoreceptor and optogenetics research, and circadian rhythm and melatonin.

Recent publications by McAllen and their collaborators include:

  • "Advancing respiratory-cardiovascular physiology with the working heart-brainstem preparation over 25 years" (2022, The Journal of Physiology)
  • "Reflex regulation of systemic inflammation by the autonomic nervous system" (2021, Autonomic Neuroscience)
  • "Sympathetic nerves control bacterial clearance" (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • "Divergent splanchnic sympathetic efferent nerve pathways regulate interleukin-10 and tumour necrosis factor-α responses to endotoxaemia" (2022, The Journal of Physiology)
  • "Selective optogenetic stimulation of efferent fibers in the vagus nerve of a large mammal" (2020, Brain Stimulation)

The scientist frequently publishes in venues such as The Journal of Physiology, Scientific Reports, Brain Behavior and Immunity, The FASEB Journal, and Nature Reviews Cardiology.

Collaborations are a significant aspect of their work, with frequent co-authors including Michael J. McKinley, Davide Martelli, Clive N. May, David Farmer, and Yugeesh R. Lankadeva.
