The scientist's work also touches on Cognitive Neuroscience, Economics and Econometrics, and Statistical and Nonlinear Physics.

The main topics explored in their publications include neurological disorders and treatments, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, neural dynamics and brain function, photoreceptor and optogenetics research, neuroscience and neural engineering, genetic neurodegenerative diseases, and stochastic dynamics and bifurcation.

The scientist has published extensively, with frequent contributions to journals such as the Journal of Neurophysiology, Journal of Neuroscience, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), eNeuro, and the Journal of Computational Neuroscience.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Charles J. Wilson include:

  • Dissociable Roles of Pallidal Neuron Subtypes in Regulating Motor Patterns (2021), Journal of Neuroscience
  • Indirect pathway control of firing rate and pattern in the substantia nigra pars reticulata (2020), Journal of Neurophysiology
  • Periodic unitary synaptic currents in the mouse globus pallidus during spontaneous firing in slices (2021), Journal of Neurophysiology
  • Spontaneous Activity of the Local GABAergic Synaptic Network Causes Irregular Neuronal Firing in the External Globus Pallidus (2023), Journal of Neuroscience
  • Local inhibition in a model of the indirect pathway globus pallidus network slows and deregularizes background firing, but sharpens and synchronizes responses to striatal input (2022), Journal of Computational Neuroscience

Collaboration is a key component of their research, evidenced by frequent co-authors including Matthew H. Higgs, James A. Jones, Erick Olivares, C. Savio Chan, and Qiaoling Cui.

The scientist's contributions to neuroscience research focus heavily on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying motor control, synaptic activity, and network dynamics within brain regions such as the globus pallidus and substantia nigra. Their work addresses how neural circuits regulate firing patterns and responses to inputs, which is central to the study of neurological disorders and potential therapeutic strategies.
