His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Neurotransmission, Kainate receptor, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5. In general Neuroscience study, his work on Sensory cortex often relates to the realm of Fragile X syndrome, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Glutamate receptor covers he research in Kainate receptor.
His Excitatory postsynaptic potential study incorporates themes from Long-term potentiation and Mossy fiber. His work deals with themes such as Hippocampal formation, Cognitive psychology and Plasma protein binding, which intersect with Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5. His studies examine the connections between Signal transduction and genetics, as well as such issues in Synapse, with regards to Biochemistry.
His main research concerns Neuroscience, Receptor, Kainate receptor, Long-term potentiation and Glutamate receptor. His work on Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Synapse and Hippocampal formation is typically connected to Fragile X syndrome as part of general Neuroscience study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Receptor research integrates issues from Endocrinology, Cell biology, Pharmacology and Epilepsy.
The various areas that he examines in his Kainate receptor study include Kainic acid, Excitatory Amino Acid Agonist and Agonist, Metabotropic receptor. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Synaptic plasticity, Postsynaptic potential, Hippocampal mossy fiber, Mossy fiber and Hippocampus. The concepts of his Glutamate receptor study are interwoven with issues in Molecular biology, Medium spiny neuron, Knockout mouse and Biological neural network.
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Hippocampal formation, Synapse, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Receptor. His study deals with a combination of Neuroscience and Major depressive disorder. His Synapse research incorporates elements of Somatosensory system, Memory consolidation, Neurotransmitter, Presynaptic active zone and Immunoelectron microscopy.
His Excitatory postsynaptic potential research includes elements of Knockout mouse and Sensory processing, Sensory system, Barrel cortex. His research in Receptor intersects with topics in Epilepsy, Dravet syndrome and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. His Dentate gyrus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Glutamate receptor, Kainate receptor and Period.
His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Synapse, Hippocampal formation and Somatosensory system. His work in Neuroscience is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Immunoelectron microscopy. His research integrates issues of Presynaptic active zone, Memory consolidation and Neurotransmitter in his study of Immunoelectron microscopy.
His work on Barrel cortex as part of general Somatosensory system research is frequently linked to FMR1, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Major depressive disorder studies intersect with other subjects such as Fluoxetine, Chemogenetics, Premovement neuronal activity, Neurogenesis and Antidepressant. Anis Contractor integrates many fields in his works, including Fluoxetine and Dentate gyrus.
