Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Neuroscience

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Nerve growth factor, Neurotrophic factors, Nociception and Internal medicine. All of his Neuroscience and Neuropathic pain, Spinal cord, Sensory neuron, Sensory system and Chronic pain investigations are sub-components of the entire Neuroscience study. His Spinal cord research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lesion, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Anatomy.

His research integrates issues of Nociceptor, Inflammation, Neurotrophin and Dorsal root ganglion in his study of Nerve growth factor. His work on Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor is typically connected to Epiphenomenon as part of general Neurotrophic factors study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Internal medicine study frequently links to related topics such as Endocrinology.

His most cited work include:

  • Chondroitinase ABC promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury (1874 citations)
  • Mice lacking nerve growth factor display perinatal loss of sensory and sympathetic neurons yet develop basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. (955 citations)
  • Role of the immune system in chronic pain (883 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Spinal cord, Anatomy, Nociception and Internal medicine. His Neuroscience research incorporates elements of Neurotrophic factors and Nociceptor. His study looks at the relationship between Neurotrophic factors and topics such as Neurotrophin, which overlap with Tropomyosin receptor kinase B.

His Spinal cord research includes elements of Sciatic nerve and Reflex. Within one scientific family, Stephen B. McMahon focuses on topics pertaining to Stimulation under Anatomy, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Anesthesia. His study focuses on the intersection of Internal medicine and fields such as Endocrinology with connections in the field of Dorsal root ganglion and Calcitonin gene-related peptide.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (44.82%)
  • Spinal cord (25.91%)
  • Anatomy (18.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (44.82%)
  • Chronic pain (10.88%)
  • Nociception (16.32%)

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

Stephen B. McMahon mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Chronic pain, Nociception, Spinal cord and Sensory system. His Neuroscience study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Nociceptor. His Chronic pain research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Osteoarthritis, Endocrinology, Nerve growth factor, Internal medicine and Epigenetics.

His research on Nociception also deals with topics like

  • Receptor, Hyperalgesia and TRPV1 most often made with reference to Immunology,
  • Nervous system which connect with Downregulation and upregulation, Cell biology and Premovement neuronal activity. His Spinal cord study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn, Forelimb and Reflex. His Sensory system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Peripheral, Anesthesia, Somatosensory system and Anatomy.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Pain vulnerability: a neurobiological perspective (200 citations)
  • Opening paths to novel analgesics: the role of potassium channels in chronic pain. (141 citations)
  • Crosstalk between the nociceptive and immune systems in host defence and disease (100 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Neuron

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Neuropathic pain, Chronic pain, Sensory system and Immunology. His studies deal with areas such as Cell type and Nociception as well as Neuroscience. His studies in Neuropathic pain integrate themes in fields like Hyperalgesia, Allodynia, Nerve injury and Potassium channel.

In his study, Endocrinology is inextricably linked to Microglia, which falls within the broad field of Nerve injury. His Chronic pain research includes themes of Spinal cord, Clinical trial, Premovement neuronal activity and Nerve growth factor. His work deals with themes such as Receptor, Regulation of gene expression, Gene expression and Cell biology, which intersect with Immunology.
