2009 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Orexin and Sleep in non-human animals. His research on Internal medicine often connects related topics like Gene expression. His Neuroscience study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Raphe nuclei.

His research in Orexin intersects with topics in Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Serotonergic and Narcolepsy. The concepts of his Lateral hypothalamus study are interwoven with issues in Hippocampal formation, Zona incerta and Brainstem. His study in Hypothalamus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neuropeptide, Regulation of gene expression, Endogeny and Immediate early gene.

His most cited work include:

  • The hypocretins: Hypothalamus-specific peptides with neuroexcitatory activity (3049 citations)
  • Neurons Containing Hypocretin (Orexin) Project to Multiple Neuronal Systems (2792 citations)
  • Hypocretin (orexin) activation and synaptic innervation of the locus coeruleus noradrenergic system. (525 citations)

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

Thomas S. Kilduff mostly deals with Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Orexin and Wakefulness. His Endocrinology research incorporates themes from Orexin receptor and Non-rapid eye movement sleep. His study in Sleep in non-human animals, Cerebral cortex, Neuroscience of sleep, GABAergic and Arousal is carried out as part of his studies in Neuroscience.

His Sleep in non-human animals research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Insomnia and Eye movement. The study incorporates disciplines such as Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Neuron, Lateral hypothalamus, Narcolepsy and GABAB receptor in addition to Orexin. The Wakefulness study combines topics in areas such as Slow-wave sleep and Vigilance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (52.63%)
  • Endocrinology (52.05%)
  • Neuroscience (43.86%)

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

  • Neuroscience (43.86%)
  • Orexin (28.65%)
  • Wakefulness (27.49%)

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

Thomas S. Kilduff spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Orexin, Wakefulness, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His work on Optogenetics, Arousal and Eye movement as part of his general Neuroscience study is frequently connected to Health benefits, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His studies in Orexin integrate themes in fields like Cataplexy, Neuron and Hypothalamic neuropeptides.

In his study, Cerebral cortex, Neuroplasticity and Eszopiclone is inextricably linked to Non-rapid eye movement sleep, which falls within the broad field of Wakefulness. His Internal medicine study frequently involves adjacent topics like Sleep in non-human animals. His Sleep in non-human animals research incorporates elements of MEDLINE, Introductory Journal Article, Hypothalamus, Hypocretin orexin and Hippocampus.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • REM sleep–active MCH neurons are involved in forgetting hippocampus-dependent memories (42 citations)
  • Cntnap2 Knockout Rats and Mice Exhibit Epileptiform Activity and Abnormal Sleep-Wake Physiology. (33 citations)
  • Challenges in the development of therapeutics for narcolepsy. (31 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Orexin, Wakefulness, Sleep in non-human animals and Cataplexy. He has included themes like Glutamatergic, Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and Postsynaptic potential in his Neuroscience study. In his research, Thomas S. Kilduff undertakes multidisciplinary study on Orexin and Basic research.

His Wakefulness research integrates issues from Endocrinology, Knockout rat, Internal medicine and Non-rapid eye movement sleep. As part of his studies on Endocrinology, Thomas S. Kilduff frequently links adjacent subjects like Partial agonist. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hypothalamus, Forgetting and Hippocampal formation, Dorsal hippocampus, Hippocampus.
