Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Endocrinology

Thelma A. Lovick mainly investigates Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Neuroscience, Anatomy and Chemistry. Her Endocrinology research incorporates elements of Receptor and Anesthesia. Her work carried out in the field of Anesthesia brings together such families of science as Hypothalamus and Vasodilation.

Her Central nervous system, Midbrain, Stimulation, Periaqueductal gray and Premovement neuronal activity study are her primary interests in Neuroscience. While the research belongs to areas of Anatomy, Thelma A. Lovick spends her time largely on the problem of Nucleus raphe magnus, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Raphe and Nociception. Chemistry is intertwined with Serotonergic cell groups, Dorsal raphe nucleus and Spinal cord in her research.

Her most cited work include:

  • Integrated activity of cardiovascular and pain regulatory systems: role in adaptive behavioural responses. (196 citations)
  • Ventrolateral medullary lesions block the antinociceptive and cardiovascular responses elicited by stimulating the dorsal periaqueductal grey matter in rats (163 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Chemistry, Internal medicine, Neuroscience, Endocrinology and Stimulation. Her Chemistry studies intersect with other subjects such as Nucleus raphe magnus, Raphe nuclei, Anatomy, Dorsal raphe nucleus and Central nervous system. Her work deals with themes such as Raphe and Nucleus raphe obscurus, which intersect with Raphe nuclei.

Her Internal medicine study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Anesthesia. Her research integrates issues of Allopregnanolone and GABAA receptor in her study of Endocrinology. Her study on Stimulation also encompasses disciplines like

  • Medulla most often made with reference to Medulla oblongata,
  • Nociception which intersects with area such as Reflex.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Chemistry (43.71%)
  • Internal medicine (47.68%)
  • Neuroscience (40.40%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (47.68%)
  • Stimulation (33.11%)
  • Anesthesia (13.91%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Stimulation, Anesthesia, Urinary system and Urination. The study incorporates disciplines such as Endocrinology, Epilepsy and Cardiology in addition to Internal medicine. Her study in the field of Menstrual cycle and Luteal phase is also linked to topics like Population.

Her Stimulation research includes elements of Urinary retention, Refractory, Animal studies, Stimulus and Sacral nerve stimulation. Her Anesthesia study which covers Nociceptor that intersects with Peripheral, Efferent, Autonomic nerve and Detrusor muscle. Her Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Visceral pain and Nociception.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Female psychopharmacology matters! Towards a sex-specific psychopharmacology. (15 citations)
  • A specific profile of luteal phase progesterone is associated with the development of premenstrual symptoms (14 citations)
  • A specific profile of luteal phase progesterone is associated with the development of premenstrual symptoms (14 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Endocrinology

Her primary areas of study are Anesthesia, Crotalus durissus terrificus, Blockade, Neurotransmission and Opioid peptide. The Anesthesia study combines topics in areas such as Sudden death, Stomach, Urination, Electromyography and Epilepsy. The concepts of her Urination study are interwoven with issues in Periaqueductal gray, Tegmentum, Urethral sphincter, Bursting and Cortical Synchronization.

Throughout her Crotalus durissus terrificus studies, Thelma A. Lovick incorporates elements of other sciences such as Inferior colliculus, Receptor, Opioid, Pharmacology and Endogenous opioid.
