What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Neuroscience
- Psychiatry
His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Orexin, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Wakefulness.
His study in the field of Sleep in non-human animals, Circadian rhythm, Suprachiasmatic nucleus and Sleep period is also linked to topics like Sleep control.
His Orexin research includes elements of Lateral hypothalamus and Narcolepsy.
His Narcolepsy study incorporates themes from Sleep deprivation, In situ hybridization, Almorexant and Sleep Stages.
Thomas E. Scammell is studying Neuroscience of sleep, which is a component of Wakefulness.
The various areas that Thomas E. Scammell examines in his Neuroscience of sleep study include Rapid eye movement sleep and Sleep onset.
His most cited work include:
- Narcolepsy in orexin knockout mice: Molecular genetics of sleep regulation (2591 citations)
- Hypothalamic regulation of sleep and circadian rhythms (1866 citations)
- The sleep switch: hypothalamic control of sleep and wakefulness (1283 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Narcolepsy, Neuroscience, Orexin, Internal medicine and Endocrinology.
As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Narcolepsy, focusing on Pediatrics and, on occasion, Multiple Sleep Latency Test.
Wakefulness, Sleep in non-human animals, Circadian rhythm, Lateral hypothalamus and Tuberomammillary nucleus are subfields of Neuroscience in which his conducts study.
The concepts of his Orexin study are interwoven with issues in Rapid eye movement sleep, Neuroscience of sleep, Knockout mouse and Sleep onset.
His study on Orexin receptor, Central nucleus of the amygdala, Energy metabolism and Thermoregulation is often connected to Chemistry as part of broader study in Internal medicine.
The Endocrinology study combines topics in areas such as Receptor and Almorexant.
He most often published in these fields:
- Narcolepsy (52.84%)
- Neuroscience (48.30%)
- Orexin (43.18%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Narcolepsy (52.84%)
- Neuroscience (48.30%)
- Sleep in non-human animals (28.98%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Thomas E. Scammell mainly focuses on Narcolepsy, Neuroscience, Sleep in non-human animals, Orexin and Cataplexy.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Nighttime sleep, Internal medicine, Pediatrics and Developmental psychology in addition to Narcolepsy.
Thomas E. Scammell has researched Internal medicine in several fields, including Priming and Non-rapid eye movement sleep.
His Arousal, Tuberomammillary nucleus, Preoptic area and GABAergic study in the realm of Neuroscience interacts with subjects such as Glutamatergic.
His Orexin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Wakefulness and Endocrinology.
His Cataplexy research integrates issues from Rapid eye movement sleep, Lateral hypothalamus and Excessive daytime sleepiness.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Sleep modulates haematopoiesis and protects against atherosclerosis. (107 citations)
- Narcolepsy - clinical spectrum, aetiopathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment. (80 citations)
- Galanin Neurons in the Ventrolateral Preoptic Area Promote Sleep and Heat Loss in Mice (74 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Neuroscience
- Psychiatry
Thomas E. Scammell focuses on Neuroscience, Orexin, Narcolepsy, Sleep in non-human animals and Lateral hypothalamus.
His study looks at the relationship between Orexin and topics such as Wakefulness, which overlap with Insomnia.
In the field of Narcolepsy, his study on Cataplexy overlaps with subjects such as Extramural.
His Sleep in non-human animals study combines topics in areas such as Synaptic plasticity, Dendritic spine, Memory consolidation and Spine.
He is investigating Lateral hypothalamus as part of his inquiry into Endocrinology and Internal medicine.
His Rapid eye movement sleep research incorporates elements of Sleep paralysis, Excessive daytime sleepiness, Sleep onset, Pediatrics and Melanin-concentrating hormone.
