Overview

Chet C. Sherwood is affiliated with George Washington University in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience and psychology, with significant contributions to cognitive neuroscience and social psychology. Sherwood's work also extends into molecular biology, neurology, and cellular and molecular neuroscience.

The main topics covered in their research include:

  • Primate Behavior and Ecology
  • Neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms
  • Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration Mechanisms
  • Memory and Neural Mechanisms
  • Hemispheric Asymmetry in Neuroscience
  • Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research
  • Functional Brain Connectivity Studies

Sherwood has published extensively in various academic venues. The most frequent publication platforms include:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • The Journal of Comparative Neurology
  • Brain Structure and Function
  • The Anatomical Record
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Representative recent papers authored by Sherwood or their close collaborators demonstrate a focus on primate brain evolution, cortical function, and cellular neuroscience. Some key publications are:

  • "Molecular and cellular evolution of the primate dorsolateral prefrontal cortex," 2022, published in Science

  • "Comparative transcriptomics reveals human-specific cortical features," 2023, published in Science
  • "Similar Microglial Cell Densities across Brain Structures and Mammalian Species: Implications for Brain Tissue Function," 2020, published in Journal of Neuroscience
  • "Cortical Interlaminar Astrocytes Are Generated Prenatally, Mature Postnatally, and Express Unique Markers in Human and Nonhuman Primates," 2020, published in Cerebral Cortex

Their collaborative efforts include frequent co-authorship with several researchers in the field. Notable collaborators are:

  • William D. Hopkins
  • Patrick R. Hof
  • Steven J. Schapiro
  • Mary Ann Raghanti
  • Paul R. Manger
