Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter

His primary areas of study are Receptor, Neuroscience, Acetylcholine receptor, Nicotinic agonist and Cell biology. His research integrates issues of Acetylcholine and Neuron in his study of Receptor. The various areas that Darwin K. Berg examines in his Neuroscience study include Ion channel linked receptors, Endocrinology and Alpha-4 beta-2 nicotinic receptor.

His Acetylcholine receptor research includes elements of Molecular biology, Gene product and Neurotransmitter receptor. His research in Nicotinic agonist intersects with topics in GABAergic and Long-term depression. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cys-loop receptors and Voltage-dependent calcium channel.

His most cited work include:

  • Nicotinic Receptors in the Development and Modulation of CNS Synapses (704 citations)
  • International Union of Pharmacology. XX. Current Status of the Nomenclature for Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Their Subunits (486 citations)
  • β-Amyloid peptide blocks the response of α7-containing nicotinic receptors on hippocampal neurons (310 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Nicotinic agonist, Neuroscience, Cell biology, Acetylcholine receptor and Receptor. His study looks at the relationship between Nicotinic agonist and topics such as Long-term depression, which overlap with Ion channel linked receptors. His work investigates the relationship between Neuroscience and topics such as Postsynaptic potential that intersect with problems in Nervous system and Dendritic spine.

His study of Ciliary ganglion is a part of Cell biology. His Acetylcholine receptor study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biophysics and Endocrinology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Molecular biology, Protein subunit and Gene product in addition to Receptor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Nicotinic agonist (54.14%)
  • Neuroscience (48.12%)
  • Cell biology (44.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2019)?

  • Neuroscience (48.12%)
  • Nicotinic agonist (54.14%)
  • Postsynaptic potential (18.80%)

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

Darwin K. Berg spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Nicotinic agonist, Postsynaptic potential, Cholinergic and Silent synapse. Darwin K. Berg has researched Neuroscience in several fields, including Synaptic plasticity and Glutamatergic synapse. His Nicotinic agonist study introduces a deeper knowledge of Receptor.

Specifically, his work in Receptor is concerned with the study of Acetylcholine receptor. His Postsynaptic potential research includes themes of Glutamate receptor, Neurotransmission and Cell biology. His Neurotransmission research integrates issues from Active zone and Ciliary ganglion.

Between 2008 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Endogenous Signaling through α7-Containing Nicotinic Receptors Promotes Maturation and Integration of Adult-Born Neurons in the Hippocampus (111 citations)
  • GLUTAMATERGIC SYNAPSE FORMATION IS PROMOTED BY α7-CONTAINING NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTORS (93 citations)
  • MicroRNA-101 Regulates Multiple Developmental Programs to Constrain Excitation in Adult Neural Networks. (46 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Nicotinic agonist, Cholinergic, Silent synapse and Excitatory postsynaptic potential. His Neuroscience research focuses on Glutamatergic and how it connects with Neuron and Acetylcholine. Nicotinic agonist is a subfield of Receptor that Darwin K. Berg tackles.

Darwin K. Berg combines subjects such as Dentate gyrus, Thalamic reticular nucleus, Neuroscience of sleep and Sleep onset with his study of Cholinergic. Darwin K. Berg has included themes like Long-term potentiation, Post-tetanic potentiation, Alpha-4 beta-2 nicotinic receptor, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Postsynaptic density in his Silent synapse study. His study looks at the intersection of Excitatory postsynaptic potential and topics like Nervous system with Synapse and Cell biology.
