Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience
  • Central nervous system

Her primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Anatomy, Lateral geniculate nucleus, Visual cortex and Retina. Her work in Neuroscience is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Neurotrophin-3. The study incorporates disciplines such as Subplate, Neuron, Premovement neuronal activity and Nervous system in addition to Anatomy.

While the research belongs to areas of Visual cortex, Carla J. Shatz spends her time largely on the problem of Cortex, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Laminar organization, Visual field and Neurogenesis. Carla J. Shatz focuses mostly in the field of Retina, narrowing it down to topics relating to Ganglion and, in certain cases, Tetrodotoxin. While the research belongs to areas of Central nervous system, Carla J. Shatz spends her time largely on the problem of Cerebral cortex, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Cerebrum, Giant depolarizing potentials, Neuroplasticity and Synapse.

Her most cited work include:

  • Synaptic Activity and the Construction of Cortical Circuits (2526 citations)
  • Developmental mechanisms that generate precise patterns of neuronal connectivity (1244 citations)
  • Synchronous Bursts of Action Potentials in Ganglion Cells of the Developing Mammalian Retina (931 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Anatomy, Visual cortex, Lateral geniculate nucleus and Subplate. Neuroscience connects with themes related to Synaptic plasticity in her study. Carla J. Shatz combines topics linked to Central nervous system with her work on Anatomy.

Carla J. Shatz interconnects Visual field and Cortex in the investigation of issues within Visual cortex. Carla J. Shatz works mostly in the field of Lateral geniculate nucleus, limiting it down to topics relating to Tetrodotoxin and, in certain cases, Premovement neuronal activity, as a part of the same area of interest. Her Subplate research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neocortex, Cerebrum, Neuron and Thalamus.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (83.23%)
  • Anatomy (29.81%)
  • Visual cortex (28.57%)

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

  • Neuroscience (83.23%)
  • Synaptic plasticity (13.66%)
  • Neuroplasticity (9.32%)

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

Carla J. Shatz focuses on Neuroscience, Synaptic plasticity, Neuroplasticity, Dendritic spine and Synapse. Her is involved in several facets of Neuroscience study, as is seen by her studies on Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Motor learning, Visual cortex, Forebrain and Cerebral cortex. Her studies in Visual cortex integrate themes in fields like Functional recovery, Cortex and Anatomy.

Her Neuroplasticity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Receptor and MHC class I, Major histocompatibility complex. Her research integrates issues of Lateral geniculate nucleus and Complement system in her study of Major histocompatibility complex. Her Synapse research focuses on Cell biology and how it connects with Subplate.

Between 2007 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • PirB Is a Functional Receptor for Myelin Inhibitors of Axonal Regeneration (406 citations)
  • PirB Is a Functional Receptor for Myelin Inhibitors of Axonal Regeneration (406 citations)
  • MHC Class I: An Unexpected Role in Neuronal Plasticity (268 citations)

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

  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience
  • Central nervous system

Carla J. Shatz mainly investigates Neuroscience, Cell biology, Receptor, Immunology and Neuroplasticity. Neuroscience is frequently linked to Synaptic plasticity in her study. Carla J. Shatz has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, Myelin, Nogo Receptor 1 and Synapse.

Her Receptor research incorporates elements of Neurite, Nogo Proteins and Nervous system. Her Neuroplasticity study incorporates themes from MHC class I and Major histocompatibility complex. Her Major histocompatibility complex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Lateral geniculate nucleus and Complement system.
