Daniel J. Simons focuses on Neuroscience, Somatosensory system, Barrel cortex, Anatomy and Cerebral cortex.
His work on Thalamus as part of general Neuroscience study is frequently linked to Chemistry, Whisker and Barrel, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Somatosensory system research includes elements of Stimulus and Trigeminal ganglion, Sensory system.
His work in the fields of Sensory system, such as Topographic map, overlaps with other areas such as Physics and Orientation column.
Daniel J. Simons works mostly in the field of Anatomy, limiting it down to topics relating to Cortex and, in certain cases, Soma and Apical dendrite, as a part of the same area of interest.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Communication, Tactile discrimination and Whisking in animals is strongly linked to Neurophysiology.
His most cited work include:
- Biometric analyses of vibrissal tactile discrimination in the rat (714 citations)
- Response properties of vibrissa units in rat SI somatosensory neocortex (705 citations)
- Thalamocortical response transformation in the rat vibrissa/barrel system. (490 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Somatosensory system, Chemistry, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Whisker.
His study in Neuroscience concentrates on Thalamus, Receptive field, Barrel cortex, Sensory system and Stimulus.
His study looks at the intersection of Receptive field and topics like Electrophysiology with Central nervous system.
His studies in Barrel cortex integrate themes in fields like Ventrobasal complex and Functional organization.
His research integrates issues of Cerebral cortex, Cortex, Anatomy and Neuron in his study of Somatosensory system.

He usually deals with Sensory system and limits it to topics linked to Stimulus and Sensory cortex.
Between 2007 and 2018, his most popular works were:
- Motor modulation of afferent somatosensory circuits. (122 citations)
- Neural Correlation Is Stimulus Modulated by Feedforward Inhibitory Circuitry (73 citations)
- Motor Cortex Broadly Engages Excitatory and Inhibitory Neurons in Somatosensory Barrel Cortex (61 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Neuroscience
- Internal medicine
- Neuron
Daniel J. Simons mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Sensory system, Somatosensory system, Barrel cortex and Neuron.
Neuroscience is a component of his Thalamus, Stimulus, Cortex, Neural Inhibition and Sensory stimulation therapy studies.
In most of his Thalamus studies, his work intersects topics such as Whisking in animals.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Sensorimotor integration, Synapse, Primary motor cortex and Sensory processing in addition to Cortex.
His research in Sensory stimulation therapy intersects with topics in Cerebral cortex, Thalamic reticular nucleus, Hippocampus and Afferent.
Many of his studies on Somatosensory system involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Motor cortex.
