Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme
  • Neuron

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Astrocyte, Biophysics, Central nervous system and Optic nerve. His work on Cerebral cortex as part of general Neuroscience research is frequently linked to Critical appraisal, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Bruce R. Ransom interconnects Purinergic receptor, Neocortex, Biochemistry, Nervous system and Calcium signaling in the investigation of issues within Astrocyte.

His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell, Intracellular and Anatomy. Neuroglia is the focus of his Central nervous system research. His Optic nerve study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Compound muscle action potential and Biomedical engineering.

His most cited work include:

  • New roles for astrocytes: redefining the functional architecture of the brain (1053 citations)
  • Uniquely hominid features of adult human astrocytes (732 citations)
  • Ionic mechanisms of anoxic injury in mammalian CNS white matter: role of Na+ channels and Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger (617 citations)

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

Bruce R. Ransom focuses on Neuroscience, Biophysics, Optic nerve, Extracellular and Central nervous system. His research investigates the connection between Neuroscience and topics such as Cell biology that intersect with issues in Microglia. He combines subjects such as Biochemistry, Intracellular and Gap junction with his study of Biophysics.

His Optic nerve study incorporates themes from Myelin, Compound muscle action potential and Axon. His Extracellular research includes themes of Ouabain, Channel blocker, Stimulation and Nifedipine. His Astrocyte research integrates issues from Patch clamp and Glial fibrillary acidic protein.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (47.69%)
  • Biophysics (25.00%)
  • Optic nerve (27.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (47.69%)
  • Astrocyte (21.76%)
  • Central nervous system (25.00%)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Astrocyte, Central nervous system, Glutamate receptor and Cell biology. His Neuroscience research incorporates themes from Stroke and Energy metabolism. His research in Astrocyte intersects with topics in Glycogen, Biochemistry, Purinergic receptor and Connexin.

The concepts of his Connexin study are interwoven with issues in Biophysics and Ion channel. The Central nervous system study combines topics in areas such as Immune system, Neurotransmission and Spinal cord. In general Cell biology study, his work on Connexon and Extracellular often relates to the realm of cGMP-dependent protein kinase and Inflammatory genes, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Between 2007 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Uniquely hominid features of adult human astrocytes (732 citations)
  • Loss of Astrocytic Domain Organization in the Epileptic Brain (223 citations)
  • White Matter Vulnerability to Ischemic Injury Increases with Age Because of Enhanced Excitotoxicity (99 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

Neuroscience, Glutamate receptor, Astrocyte, Central nervous system and Glycogen are his primary areas of study. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glutamatergic and Glial fibrillary acidic protein. His work carried out in the field of Astrocyte brings together such families of science as Biophysics, Purinergic receptor, Biochemistry and Connexin.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carbenoxolone, Gap junction, Ion channel and Channel blocker. Bruce R. Ransom has included themes like Carbohydrate metabolism, Sciatic nerve and Cell biology in his Glycogen study. His Axon research incorporates elements of Stroke and Extracellular.
