1966 - 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:

  • Anatomy
  • Cerebellum
  • Neuroscience

Alf Brodal mainly focuses on Anatomy, Neuroscience, Vestibular nuclei, Superior vestibular nucleus and Reticular formation. His Anatomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Reticulospinal fibers and Spinal cord. His study in the field of Efferent, Magnocellular red nucleus and Rubrospinal tract is also linked to topics like Raphe nuclei and Annals.

Alf Brodal interconnects Sagittal plane, Superior colliculus, Pons, Paramedian reticular nucleus and Medulla in the investigation of issues within Efferent. In the subject of general Reticular formation, his work in Reticular activating system is often linked to Chemistry, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His research in Reticular activating system intersects with topics in Cerebral cortex and Commissure.

His most cited work include:

  • Neurological Anatomy in Relation to Clinical Medicine (1191 citations)
  • The vestibular nuclei in the cat (314 citations)
  • The raphe nuclei of the brain stem in the cat. I. Normal topography and cytoarchitecture and general discussion (299 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Anatomy, Neuroscience, Cerebellum, Nucleus and Projection. He is studying Axoplasmic transport, which is a component of Anatomy. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of CATS and Neuroscience.

His research in the fields of Cerebellar cortex, Fastigial nucleus and Flocculus overlaps with other disciplines such as Projection. The Intercalated nucleus research Alf Brodal does as part of his general Nucleus study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Chemistry, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Reticular formation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Medulla, Commissure and Reticular connective tissue.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anatomy (72.73%)
  • Neuroscience (45.45%)
  • Cerebellum (27.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1971-2011)?

  • Anatomy (72.73%)
  • Neuroscience (45.45%)
  • Cerebellum (27.27%)

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

His main research concerns Anatomy, Neuroscience, Cerebellum, Nucleus and Projection. His Anatomy study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Pontine nuclei. His study on Vestibular nuclei, Reticular formation, Nucleus reticularis tegmenti pontis and Cerebral cortex is often connected to Extrapyramidal tracts as part of broader study in Neuroscience.

His work on Cerebellar cortex, Fastigial nucleus and Flocculus as part of general Cerebellum research is frequently linked to Projection, bridging the gap between disciplines. Many of his research projects under Nucleus are closely connected to Chemistry with Chemistry, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Pons research includes elements of Superior colliculus and CATS.

Between 1971 and 2011, his most popular works were:

  • SELF-OBSERVATIONS AND NEURO-ANATOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS AFTER A STROKE (254 citations)
  • The projection of the superior colliculus onto the reticular formation of the brain stem. An experimental anatomical study in the cat. (236 citations)
  • The olivocerebellar projection in the cat studied with the method of retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase. IV. The projection to the anterior lobe. (165 citations)

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

  • Cerebellum
  • Anatomy
  • Neuroscience

Alf Brodal mostly deals with Anatomy, Axoplasmic transport, Neuroscience, Projection and Cerebellum. The concepts of his Anatomy study are interwoven with issues in Pontine nuclei, Nucleus and Cerebellar cortex. His Cerebellar cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Vestibular nerve and Lateral vestibular nucleus, Vestibular nuclei.

His Axoplasmic transport research integrates issues from Dentate nucleus and Dorsal paraflocculus, Ventral paraflocculus. Many of his studies on Cerebellum apply to Vestibular system as well. His Superior colliculus study combines topics in areas such as Electrophysiology, Pons, Periaqueductal gray, Motor cortex and Spinal cord.
