What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Endocrinology
- Gene
Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Adenosine, Basal forebrain and Sleep deprivation are her primary areas of study.
Her Internal medicine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Rapid eye movement sleep and Wakefulness.
Her research integrates issues of Slow-wave sleep, Microdialysis, Cholinergic and Sleep onset in her study of Wakefulness.
Tarja Porkka-Heiskanen combines subjects such as Extracellular and Adenosine receptor with her study of Adenosine.
In Basal forebrain, Tarja Porkka-Heiskanen works on issues like Cholinergic neuron, which are connected to Sleep Stages and Sleep induction.
Her Sleep deprivation research includes themes of Sleep disorder and Pediatrics.
Her most cited work include:
- Adenosine: a mediator of the sleep-inducing effects of prolonged wakefulness. (941 citations)
- Brain site-specificity of extracellular adenosine concentration changes during sleep deprivation and spontaneous sleep: an in vivo microdialysis study. (366 citations)
- Adenosinergic modulation of basal forebrain and preoptic/anterior hypothalamic neuronal activity in the control of behavioral state (293 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Sleep in non-human animals, Basal forebrain and Sleep deprivation.
Her Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Rapid eye movement sleep and Neuroscience.
Her research investigates the link between Endocrinology and topics such as Wakefulness that cross with problems in Vigilance.
Her Sleep in non-human animals research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pregnancy and Insomnia.
Within one scientific family, she focuses on topics pertaining to Neuroscience of sleep under Basal forebrain, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Sleep onset.
Her Sleep deprivation research includes elements of Sleep disorder, Central nervous system and Premovement neuronal activity.
She most often published in these fields:
- Internal medicine (60.82%)
- Endocrinology (58.76%)
- Sleep in non-human animals (31.44%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2021)?
- Sleep in non-human animals (31.44%)
- Internal medicine (60.82%)
- Endocrinology (58.76%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Her primary areas of study are Sleep in non-human animals, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Circadian rhythm and Sleep restriction.
The Sleep in non-human animals study combines topics in areas such as Pregnancy and Insomnia.
Tarja Porkka-Heiskanen interconnects Allele and Shift work in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine.
Tarja Porkka-Heiskanen has researched Endocrinology in several fields, including Sleep deprivation and Wakefulness.
Her Circadian rhythm study combines topics in areas such as Melatonin, Rhythm, Physiology and DNA methylation.
Her work on Cholinergic neuron expands to the thematically related Basal forebrain.
Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Sleep, its regulation and possible mechanisms of sleep disturbances (81 citations)
- Direct activation of the Mauthner cell by electric field pulses drives ultrarapid escape responses (62 citations)
- Enhanced Memory Consolidation Via Automatic Sound Stimulation During Non-REM Sleep. (60 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Gene
- Endocrinology
Her primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Sleep in non-human animals, Endocrinology, Sleep restriction and Sleep deprivation.
Her work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Wakefulness, Genome-wide association study and Allele.
Tarja Porkka-Heiskanen focuses mostly in the field of Sleep in non-human animals, narrowing it down to topics relating to Insomnia and, in certain cases, Sleep debt, Menopause and Pregnancy.
The concepts of her Endocrinology study are interwoven with issues in Epigenetics and DNA methylation.
Her Sleep deprivation research integrates issues from Microarray analysis techniques, Immunology, Immune system and Regulation of gene expression.
Her Basal forebrain research incorporates elements of Adenosine and Cholinergic neuron.
