2016 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience
  • Neurotransmitter

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Hippocampal formation, Long-term potentiation and Dendritic spike. His work deals with themes such as Depolarization, Postsynaptic potential and Neurotransmission, which intersect with Neuroscience. His Excitatory postsynaptic potential study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Synaptic plasticity and Neuroplasticity.

He usually deals with Hippocampal formation and limits it to topics linked to Patch clamp and Epileptogenesis. His studies deal with areas such as NMDA receptor, Mossy fiber and Neurotransmitter as well as Long-term potentiation. His Dendritic spike research incorporates themes from Nonsynaptic plasticity, Ion channel and Dendrite.

His most cited work include:

  • K + channel regulation of signal propagation in dendrites of hippocampal pyramidal neurons (1263 citations)
  • A synaptically controlled, associative signal for Hebbian plasticity in hippocampal neurons (1152 citations)
  • Requirement for Hippocampal CA3 NMDA Receptors in Associative Memory Recall (879 citations)

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

Daniel Johnston spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Hippocampal formation, Biophysics, Long-term potentiation and Hippocampus. His study focuses on the intersection of Neuroscience and fields such as Synaptic plasticity with connections in the field of Neuroplasticity. His work carried out in the field of Hippocampal formation brings together such families of science as Potassium channel, Hyperpolarization, Ion channel, Cell biology and Soma.

His Biophysics study also includes fields such as

  • Electrophysiology, which have a strong connection to Dendrite,
  • Voltage-dependent calcium channel, which have a strong connection to Dihydropyridine. His Long-term potentiation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both NMDA receptor, Synapse, Mossy fiber and Postsynaptic potential. Daniel Johnston has included themes like Dendritic spine, Neurotransmitter and Epilepsy in his Hippocampus study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (80.68%)
  • Hippocampal formation (34.66%)
  • Biophysics (23.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (80.68%)
  • Hippocampus (18.18%)
  • Hippocampal formation (34.66%)

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

Daniel Johnston mainly investigates Neuroscience, Hippocampus, Hippocampal formation, Prefrontal cortex and Patch clamp. His Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Synaptic plasticity and Ion channel. His Hippocampus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Schaffer collateral, Electrophysiology, HCN channel and Cell biology.

His Hippocampal formation research integrates issues from Endoplasmic reticulum, Knockout mouse, Gene knockdown and Anxiolytic. His Prefrontal cortex research includes themes of Cerebellum, Pontine nuclei, Pyramidal tracts and Dendrite. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Automation, Soma and Depolarization.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Intrinsic excitability of CA1 pyramidal neurones from the rat dorsal and ventral hippocampus (102 citations)
  • Ion channels in genetic and acquired forms of epilepsy (97 citations)
  • Temporal synchrony and gamma-to-theta power conversion in the dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons (96 citations)

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

  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience
  • Action potential

Daniel Johnston mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Hippocampus, Hippocampal formation, Membrane potential and Patch clamp. His research on Neuroscience often connects related areas such as Ion channel. His study in Hippocampus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soma, Theta power and Whole-Cell Recordings.

His research integrates issues of Dorsal hippocampus and Electrophysiology in his study of Membrane potential. The concepts of his Patch clamp study are interwoven with issues in Gene Knockdown Techniques, Gene knockdown, Anxiolytic, Knockout mouse and Synaptic integration. His research in Prefrontal cortex intersects with topics in Biological neural network and Dendrite.
