The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Suprachiasmatic nucleus, Neuroscience and Circadian rhythm.
His Internal medicine and Hypothalamus, PER2, Central nucleus of the amygdala, Receptor and Pituitary gland investigations all form part of his Internal medicine research activities.
His Central nucleus of the amygdala study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Stria terminalis and Basolateral amygdala.
His studies deal with areas such as Hot plate test and Sensory system as well as Endocrinology.
Shimon Amir works mostly in the field of Neuroscience, limiting it down to concerns involving Rhythm and, occasionally, Biological clock.
His study in Circadian rhythm focuses on Circadian clock in particular.
His most cited work include:
- The role of endorphins in stress: Evidence and speculations (321 citations)
- Endogenous opioid ligands may mediate stress-induced changes in the affective properties of pain related behavior in rats (259 citations)
- The central and basolateral nuclei of the amygdala exhibit opposite diurnal rhythms of expression of the clock protein Period2 (206 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Circadian rhythm, Suprachiasmatic nucleus and Neuroscience.
His Endocrinology research includes elements of Glutamate receptor, -Naloxone and Endogenous opioid.
His work on Circadian rhythm is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Cell biology.
Shimon Amir combines subjects such as PER1, Forebrain, Period and PER2 with his study of Suprachiasmatic nucleus.
Shimon Amir works mostly in the field of PER2, limiting it down to topics relating to Central nucleus of the amygdala and, in certain cases, Stria terminalis and Basolateral amygdala, as a part of the same area of interest.
Many of his research projects under Neuroscience are closely connected to Classical conditioning with Classical conditioning, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
He most often published in these fields:
- Internal medicine (66.83%)
- Endocrinology (66.83%)
- Circadian rhythm (38.94%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?
- Circadian rhythm (38.94%)
- Neuroscience (27.40%)
- Circadian clock (24.52%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Shimon Amir mostly deals with Circadian rhythm, Neuroscience, Circadian clock, Suprachiasmatic nucleus and Internal medicine.
His CLOCK, PER2 and PER1 study in the realm of Circadian rhythm interacts with subjects such as Time of day.
His work on Sleep in non-human animals, Infradian rhythm and Neurotransmitter as part of his general Neuroscience study is frequently connected to Energy balance and Economic shortage, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
His Suprachiasmatic nucleus study combines topics in areas such as Forebrain, Period Circadian Proteins, Central nucleus of the amygdala, Stria terminalis and Vasoactive intestinal peptide.
His research brings together the fields of Endocrinology and Internal medicine.
His Plasma corticosterone, Food restriction and Open field study in the realm of Endocrinology connects with subjects such as Agranular insular cortex.
Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Endogenous dopamine regulates the rhythm of expression of the clock protein PER2 in the rat dorsal striatum via daily activation of D2 dopamine receptors. (153 citations)
- The aging clock: circadian rhythms and later life (127 citations)
- Translational Control of Entrainment and Synchrony of the Suprachiasmatic Circadian Clock by mTOR/4E-BP1 Signaling (103 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Enzyme
- Dopamine
Shimon Amir spends much of his time researching Circadian rhythm, Neuroscience, Suprachiasmatic nucleus, Circadian clock and CLOCK.
Shimon Amir has included themes like Sleep in non-human animals, Rhythm and Longevity in his Circadian rhythm study.
A significant part of his Suprachiasmatic nucleus research incorporates Internal medicine and Endocrinology studies.
His Internal medicine study focuses on Striatum in particular.
Shimon Amir studied CLOCK and Dopaminergic that intersect with Ventral striatum and Neurochemical.
Shimon Amir interconnects Central nucleus of the amygdala and Forebrain in the investigation of issues within PER2.
