What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Charles J. Heckman mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Motor unit, Spinal cord, Electrophysiology and Motor neuron.
Charles J. Heckman regularly links together related areas like Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in his Neuroscience studies.
His Motor unit research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soleus muscle, Electromyography, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Motor unit recruitment and Isometric exercise.
His Spinal cord study also includes
- Anatomy which is related to area like Sensory system,
- Reciprocal inhibition, which have a strong connection to Monoaminergic.
He usually deals with Motor neuron and limits it to topics linked to Brainstem and Neuromodulation.
Charles J. Heckman interconnects Monoamine neurotransmitter and Neurotransmission in the investigation of issues within Inhibitory postsynaptic potential.
He most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (65.93%)
- Motor unit (25.82%)
- Spinal cord (20.88%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Motor unit, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Spinal cord injury and Motor neuron.
His Neuroscience study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Degeneration, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Homeostasis.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Communication, Motor unit recruitment and Isometric exercise in addition to Motor unit.
Charles J. Heckman works mostly in the field of Physical medicine and rehabilitation, limiting it down to topics relating to Motor control and, in certain cases, Monoaminergic, Reflex and Brainstem, as a part of the same area of interest.
The concepts of his Spinal cord injury study are interwoven with issues in Plateau potentials, Spasticity and Serotonin.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Leg muscle, Lesion, Nerve injury and Peripheral nerve injury.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

- Hypoexcitability precedes denervation in the large fast-contracting motor units in two unrelated mouse models of ALS (57 citations)
- Robust and accurate decoding of motoneuron behaviour and prediction of the resulting force output (41 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Neuroscience
- Neuron
- Internal medicine
His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Motor unit, Motor commands and Input/output.
Many of his studies on Neuroscience involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Spasticity.
His Excitatory postsynaptic potential research focuses on Neurotransmission and how it connects with Riluzole, Stimulation and Excitotoxicity.
His Motor unit research incorporates themes from Muscle force and Motor system.
His Motor commands study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Communication and Control theory, Nonlinear system.
His Electrophysiology research focuses on Denervation and how it relates to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
