Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Optics, Cerebral cortex and Receptive field. His work in Neuroscience addresses subjects such as Huntington's disease, which are connected to disciplines such as Immunology. Colin Blakemore interconnects Orientation, Orientation, Communication and Artificial intelligence in the investigation of issues within Visual cortex.

His Optics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Orientation, Lateral inhibition and Stimulus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Neocortex, Cortical network, Cerebrum and Connection in addition to Cerebral cortex. His work deals with themes such as Visual field, Kitten and Anatomy, which intersect with Receptive field.

His most cited work include:

  • On the existence of neurones in the human visual system selectively sensitive to the orientation and size of retinal images. (1808 citations)
  • The neural mechanism of binocular depth discrimination (1097 citations)
  • Development of a rational scale to assess the harm of drugs of potential misuse (821 citations)

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

Colin Blakemore spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Anatomy, Optics and Receptive field. All of his Neuroscience and Cortex, Cerebral cortex, Lateral geniculate nucleus, Thalamus and Electrophysiology investigations are sub-components of the entire Neuroscience study. His Visual cortex study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Stimulus, Kitten and Communication.

The Axoplasmic transport and Superior colliculus research Colin Blakemore does as part of his general Anatomy study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Horseradish peroxidase, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Optics study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Orientation. Colin Blakemore has researched Receptive field in several fields, including Retina and Visual field.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (41.67%)
  • Visual cortex (31.48%)
  • Anatomy (15.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2020)?

  • Neuroscience (41.67%)
  • Huntington's disease (4.01%)
  • Cerebral cortex (8.33%)

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

Neuroscience, Huntington's disease, Cerebral cortex, Cortex and Perception are his primary areas of study. His study in Neuroplasticity, Phosphene, Visual cortex, Somatosensory system and Barrel cortex is done as part of Neuroscience. He has included themes like Tactile discrimination, Mental image, Face perception, Fusiform gyrus and Audiology in his Visual cortex study.

The Huntington's disease study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology, Environmental enrichment and Neurodegeneration. The concepts of his Cerebral cortex study are interwoven with issues in Dendritic spine and Cerebrum. His Cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Central nervous system, Piriform cortex, Neocortex, Olfaction and Perirhinal cortex.

Between 2002 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Development of a rational scale to assess the harm of drugs of potential misuse (821 citations)
  • Development of the human cerebral cortex: Boulder Committee revisited (641 citations)
  • Environmental Enrichment Rescues Protein Deficits in a Mouse Model of Huntington's Disease, Indicating a Possible Disease Mechanism (312 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron

Colin Blakemore mainly investigates Neuroscience, Huntington's disease, Polyglutamine tract, Environmental enrichment and Cerebral cortex. His is doing research in Cortex, Phosphene, Neurogenesis, Visual cortex and Eye movement, both of which are found in Neuroscience. Visual cortex and Braille are two areas of study in which Colin Blakemore engages in interdisciplinary research.

His research integrates issues of Sensory deprivation, Endocrinology and Neurodegeneration in his study of Huntington's disease. His research investigates the link between Polyglutamine tract and topics such as Huntingtin Protein that cross with problems in Striatum. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dendritic spine and Cerebrum.
