Overview

Clayton T. Dickson is affiliated with the University of Alberta in Canada and specializes in the field of Neuroscience, with a primary focus that includes Cognitive Neuroscience, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Social Psychology, Endocrine and Autonomic Systems, and Experimental and Cognitive Psychology.

Their research spans a variety of topics related to brain function and behavior. Key areas of study include:

  • Sleep and Wakefulness Research
  • Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research
  • Memory and Neural Mechanisms
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Neuroendocrine regulation and behavior
  • Neuroscience of respiration and sleep
  • EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces

Dickson has contributed to multiple recent scientific publications, including:

  • "In vivo assessment of mechanisms underlying the neurovascular basis of postictal amnesia," 2020, published in Scientific Reports
  • "Long-term stability of physiological signals within fluctuations of brain state under urethane anesthesia," 2021, published in PLoS ONE
  • "Prefrontal-Hippocampal Pathways Through the Nucleus Reuniens Are Functionally Biased by Brain State," 2022, published in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
  • "A Comparison of Brain-State Dynamics across Common Anesthetic Agents in Male Sprague-Dawley Rats," 2022, published in International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • "Intravenous chloral hydrate anesthesia provides appropriate analgesia for surgical interventions in male Sprague-Dawley rats," 2023, published in PLoS ONE

The scientist often publishes in journals such as PLoS ONE, Hippocampus, eLife, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and Scientific Reports.

Frequent collaborators include Silvia Pagliardini, Mitchell Prostebby, Rachel Ward-Flanagan, Annette Pisanski, and Brandon E. Hauer.
