Nick Franks, With an exceptional h-index of 78 and a recent h-index of 43 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Imperial College London, specializes in the field of Mechanisms of general anaesthesia and sleep.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

A REM-active basal ganglia circuit that regulates anxiety

Understanding sleep regulation in normal and pathological conditions, and why it matters

CONTROL OF SLEEP PREPARATORY BEHAVIOUR AND SLEEP INDUCTION BY PREFRONTAL CORTEX INHIBITORY NEURONS

Somatostatin neurons in prefrontal cortex initiate sleep-preparatory behavior and sleep via the preoptic and lateral hypothalamus

Biochemical pathways of sleep

8 Xenon is neuroprotective, improves outcome and promotes beneficial early neuroinflammation in a rat model of severe traumatic brain injury

Neurons in prefrontal cortex respond to sleep deprivation by initiating sleep preparatory behaviour and NREM sleep

NMDA receptors in the lateral preoptic hypothalamus are essential for sustaining NREM and REM sleep
