Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Caenorhabditis elegans, Sensory system, Neuroscience, Anatomy and Cell biology. Her Caenorhabditis elegans study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Genetics. The Sensory system study combines topics in areas such as Stimulus, Associative learning, Chemotaxis and Thermotaxis.

Her Neuroscience research includes themes of Amphid and Calcium imaging. Her studies in Anatomy integrate themes in fields like Glutamate receptor, Taste, Neural activity and Preclinical imaging. Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Optics, Microscopy and Fluorescence microscope.

Her most cited work include:

  • Genes that act downstream of DAF-16 to influence the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans (1829 citations)
  • Imaging neural activity in worms, flies and mice with improved GCaMP calcium indicators (1538 citations)
  • Mechanism of activation of a human oncogene. (1160 citations)

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

Caenorhabditis elegans, Neuroscience, Cell biology, Sensory system and Genetics are her primary areas of study. Her work deals with themes such as Chemotaxis, Neuron, Anatomy, Signal transduction and Regulation of gene expression, which intersect with Caenorhabditis elegans. She interconnects Olfactory system and Thermotaxis in the investigation of issues within Chemotaxis.

Her studies examine the connections between Neuroscience and genetics, as well as such issues in Calcium imaging, with regards to Optogenetics. As a member of one scientific family, Cornelia I. Bargmann mostly works in the field of Cell biology, focusing on Receptor and, on occasion, Peptide sequence. Her studies deal with areas such as Olfaction, Biological neural network, Stimulus and Premovement neuronal activity as well as Sensory system.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Caenorhabditis elegans (52.91%)
  • Neuroscience (40.29%)
  • Cell biology (37.38%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (40.29%)
  • Caenorhabditis elegans (52.91%)
  • Sensory system (23.30%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Caenorhabditis elegans, Sensory system, Odor and Calcium imaging. The various areas that Cornelia I. Bargmann examines in her Neuroscience study include Glutamatergic and Nematode caenorhabditis elegans. While working in this field, Cornelia I. Bargmann studies both Caenorhabditis elegans and Biogenic Amine Metabolism.

Her Sensory system research incorporates themes from Olfaction, Olfactory Learning and Interneuron. Her Odor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Membrane potential, Potassium channel, Premovement neuronal activity and Nervous system. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetic screen and Cell biology.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • An optimized fluorescent probe for visualizing glutamate neurotransmission (581 citations)
  • Sensitive red protein calcium indicators for imaging neural activity (519 citations)
  • Genetically encoded calcium indicators for multi-color neural activity imaging and combination with optogenetics. (498 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Cornelia I. Bargmann spends much of her time researching Neuroscience, Caenorhabditis elegans, Sensory system, Odor and Calcium imaging. Her research on Neuroscience frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Anatomy. Her Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neuromodulation, Functional organization, Connectome and Brain function.

Her Caenorhabditis elegans research focuses on Optogenetics and how it relates to Green fluorescent protein, Photobleaching and GCaMP. Her Sensory system research integrates issues from Olfactory system, Chemotaxis, Neuron, Premovement neuronal activity and Interneuron. Her study in Calcium imaging is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Patch clamp, Electrophysiology, Chloride channel, Biological neural network and Histamine.
