Overview

Ruud M. Buijs is affiliated with the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico. Their research concentrates primarily on the fields of Neuroscience and Medicine, with a substantial body of work spanning 40 publications in Neuroscience and 32 in Medicine.

The scientist's work delves deeply into subfields such as Endocrine and Autonomic Systems, Physiology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Neurology, and Psychiatry and Mental Health. This interdisciplinary approach reflects a focus on the biological mechanisms underlying behavior, bodily regulation, and brain function.

The main topics of their work include:

  • Circadian rhythm and melatonin
  • Sleep and Wakefulness Research
  • Dietary Effects on Health
  • Adipose Tissue and Metabolism
  • Neuroendocrine regulation and behavior
  • Psychosomatic Disorders and Their Treatments
  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies

Buijs has contributed extensively to several key publication venues, most notably:

  • Handbook of clinical neurology (7 publications)
  • Journal of Neuroendocrinology (3 publications)
  • Current Biology (2 publications)
  • Advanced Biology (2 publications)
  • SSRN Electronic Journal (2 publications)

The scientist's collaborative work includes frequent co-authorship with Carolina Escobar, Gabriela Hurtado-Alvarado, Dick F. Swaab, Felix Kreier, and Paul J. Lucassen, indicating consistent partnerships in the research field.
