Rate My Professor Isaiah Cheong

Among his key publications are "Central regulation of the heart in type 2 diabetes mellitus" (Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2026, co-authored with Sethi, Bussey, Schwenke, Erickson, Brown, and Lamberts); "Prolactin modulation of thermoregulatory circuits provides resilience to thermal challenge of pregnancy" (Cell Reports, 2025, with Ladyman, Georgescu, Stewart, Khant Aung, Grattan, and Brown); "Definition of the estrogen negative feedback pathway controlling the GnRH pulse generator in female mice" (Nature Communications, 2022, with Yip, Liu, Hessler, Cheong, Porteous, Heather, and Herbison); "Highly redundant neuropeptide volume co-transmission underlying episodic activation of the GnRH neuron dendron" (eLife, 2021); "Indirect Suppression of Pulsatile LH Secretion by CRH Neurons in the Female Mouse" (Endocrinology, 2021); "Increased neuronal activation in sympathoregulatory regions of the brain and spinal cord in type 2 diabetic rats" (Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 2021, with Perkinson, Bussey, Seymour, Fronius, Schwenke, Brown, Lamberts); and "Plasticity in Intrinsic Excitability of Hypothalamic Magnocellular Neurosecretory Neurons in Late-Pregnant and Lactating Rats" (International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021). In 2024, Cheong presented posters at the 18th New Zealand Medical Sciences Congress on progesterone signalling for the timely onset of maternal behaviour and limited bedding/nesting models disrupting pup development and postpartum dam behaviour. His research outputs have received over 460 citations, advancing knowledge in hypothalamic neuroendocrinology, reproductive physiology, and autonomic cardiovascular control.
