Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience
  • Axon

Alan Peters mainly investigates Neuroscience, Anatomy, Cerebral cortex, Axon and Visual cortex. In his research, he performs multidisciplinary study on Neuroscience and Cognitive decline. His Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dendritic spine, Neuron, Cortex and Golgi apparatus.

His studies deal with areas such as Corticogenesis and Cerebrum, Central nervous system as well as Cerebral cortex. Alan Peters has included themes like Biophysics, Synaptic vesicle and Postsynaptic potential in his Axon study. His research investigates the connection between Visual cortex and topics such as Neocortex that intersect with issues in Hippocampal formation and Postcentral gyrus.

His most cited work include:

  • The fine structure of the nervous system : neurons and their supporting cells (1209 citations)
  • The fine structure of the nervous system: The neurons and supporting cells (1129 citations)
  • Central Nervous System (898 citations)

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

Alan Peters focuses on Neuroscience, Anatomy, Cerebral cortex, Axon and Visual cortex. While working in this field, Alan Peters studies both Neuroscience and Cognitive decline. His Anatomy study combines topics in areas such as Cytoplasm, Neuropil, Central nervous system, Myelin and Neuron.

His Cerebral cortex research includes elements of Lateral geniculate nucleus, Cerebrum, Neuroglia and Senile plaques. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Axon, focusing on Biophysics and, on occasion, Golgi apparatus. His Visual cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell bodies, Senescence, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Cortical surface.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (55.45%)
  • Anatomy (43.64%)
  • Cerebral cortex (30.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2016)?

  • Neuroscience (55.45%)
  • Cognitive decline (13.64%)
  • Myelin (15.91%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Cognitive decline, Myelin, Pathology and Anatomy. His study in Central nervous system, Axon, Dendritic spine, Cerebral cortex and Neuropil falls under the purview of Neuroscience. Alan Peters interconnects Neuroglia, Silver stain, Nervous system, Golgi apparatus and Morphology in the investigation of issues within Cerebral cortex.

His work carried out in the field of Myelin brings together such families of science as Fixation and Optic nerve. His work on Tauopathy, Paraformaldehyde, Fixative and Immunostaining as part of general Pathology research is frequently linked to Immunofluorescence, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Myelinated nerve fiber, Lamina and Basal lamina study in the realm of Anatomy connects with subjects such as Age related and Cerebral arteries.

Between 2002 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Synapses are lost during aging in the primate prefrontal cortex (172 citations)
  • Tau accumulation causes mitochondrial distribution deficits in neurons in a mouse model of tauopathy and in human Alzheimer's disease brain. (149 citations)
  • The effects of normal aging on myelinated nerve fibers in monkey central nervous system. (117 citations)

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

  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience
  • Central nervous system

Alan Peters mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Cognitive decline, Myelinated nerve fiber, Anatomy and Myelin. His study on Cerebral cortex, Remyelination, Myelin basic protein and Central nervous system is often connected to Transcriptome as part of broader study in Neuroscience. Cell biology, Cytoplasm and Centriole is closely connected to Neuroglia in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Cerebral cortex.

His study looks at the intersection of Myelinated nerve fiber and topics like Oligodendrocyte with Astrocyte, Commissure and Anterior commissure. Particularly relevant to Axon is his body of work in Anatomy. His Myelin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Progenitor cell and Primate.
