Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Dopamine
  • Internal medicine
  • Gene

Stefano Puglisi-Allegra mainly investigates Dopamine, Neuroscience, Nucleus accumbens, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. He has researched Dopamine in several fields, including Neurochemical and Neurotransmitter. His work deals with themes such as Psychopharmacology and Inbred strain, which intersect with Neurochemical.

His Neuroscience research focuses on subjects like Receptor, which are linked to Pharmacology and Threshold of pain. His Nucleus accumbens study incorporates themes from Conditioned place preference, Catecholamine, Aversive Stimulus, Stressor and Basal ganglia. His Endocrinology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glutamate aspartate transporter and Gene isoform.

His most cited work include:

  • Reelin gene alleles and haplotypes as a factor predisposing to autistic disorder (305 citations)
  • CHANGES IN BRAIN DOPAMINE AND ACETYLCHOLINE RELEASE DURING AND FOLLOWING STRESS ARE INDEPENDENT OF THE PITUITARY-ADRENOCORTICAL AXIS (299 citations)
  • Stress, depression and the mesolimbic dopamine system. (285 citations)

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

Stefano Puglisi-Allegra spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Dopamine and Pharmacology. His research in Internal medicine tackles topics such as Inbred strain which are related to areas like Developmental psychology. The study of Endocrinology is intertwined with the study of Serotonin in a number of ways.

As a part of the same scientific family, Stefano Puglisi-Allegra mostly works in the field of Neuroscience, focusing on Synaptic plasticity and, on occasion, Long-term potentiation. His study in Dopamine is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Catecholamine and Neurotransmitter. His Pharmacology research integrates issues from Receptor, Avoidance response, Endogenous opioid and Naltrexone.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (40.83%)
  • Endocrinology (40.83%)
  • Neuroscience (37.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (37.16%)
  • Dopamine (35.32%)
  • Ventral tegmental area (4.59%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Dopamine, Ventral tegmental area, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. Many of his research projects under Neuroscience are closely connected to Degeneration with Degeneration, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. While the research belongs to areas of Dopamine, Stefano Puglisi-Allegra spends his time largely on the problem of Disease, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Physiology and Basic science.

His research integrates issues of Neurodegeneration, Immune system and Sensitization in his study of Ventral tegmental area. His work in Internal medicine covers topics such as Behavioural despair test which are related to areas like Basolateral amygdala, Dorsal raphe nucleus, 5-HT receptor and Serotonin. His Endocrinology study is mostly concerned with Dopamine receptor and Neurochemical.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dopamine neuronal loss contributes to memory and reward dysfunction in a model of Alzheimer’s disease (137 citations)
  • Motor learning and metaplasticity in striatal neurons: relevance for Parkinson's disease. (31 citations)
  • The role of dopaminergic midbrain in Alzheimer's disease: Translating basic science into clinical practice. (27 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Dopamine
  • Gene

Stefano Puglisi-Allegra mainly focuses on Dopamine, Neuroscience, Dopaminergic, Ventral tegmental area and Substantia nigra. His studies deal with areas such as Basic science and Midbrain as well as Dopamine. In general Neuroscience study, his work on Hippocampus often relates to the realm of Clinical Practice, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His research in Dopaminergic intersects with topics in Apathy, Disease, Nucleus accumbens and Neuron. His Neuroplasticity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Behavioural despair test, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His studies link Prefrontal cortex with Internal medicine.
