Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Glutamate receptor, Neurotransmitter, Biophysics and Biochemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as NMDA receptor, Long-term potentiation, Glutamic acid and Cell biology in addition to Glutamate receptor. As part of one scientific family, David Attwell deals mainly with the area of NMDA receptor, narrowing it down to issues related to the Neurotransmission, and often Neuroplasticity and Mitochondrial transport.

His Cell biology study deals with Postsynaptic potential intersecting with Ionotropic effect. His study looks at the relationship between Neurotransmitter and fields such as Metabotropic glutamate receptor, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. The Biophysics study combines topics in areas such as Retina and Intracellular.

His most cited work include:

  • An Energy Budget for Signaling in the Grey Matter of the Brain (2220 citations)
  • Glial and neuronal control of brain blood flow. (1469 citations)
  • The release and uptake of excitatory amino acids. (1016 citations)

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

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Glutamate receptor, Biophysics, Cell biology and NMDA receptor. His work in Neuroscience tackles topics such as Neurotransmission which are related to areas like Postsynaptic potential. His Glutamate receptor study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Glutamic acid and Neurotransmitter.

His biological study deals with issues like Retina, which deal with fields such as Anatomy. His work deals with themes such as Granule cell and GABAA receptor, which intersect with Cell biology. His NMDA receptor research incorporates themes from Endocrinology, Synaptic cleft and Glutamatergic.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (46.46%)
  • Glutamate receptor (33.63%)
  • Biophysics (24.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (46.46%)
  • Cell biology (19.47%)
  • Microglia (6.19%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Cell biology, Microglia, Pericyte and Receptor. His Neuroscience study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Neurovascular bundle. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Glutamate receptor, Internalization, Hippocampus and Oligodendrocyte.

The various areas that he examines in his Glutamate receptor study include Glycolysis, Glycogen, Oxidative phosphorylation, Atp production and Baseline level. As a part of the same scientific study, David Attwell usually deals with the Oligodendrocyte, concentrating on AMPA receptor and frequently concerns with Glutamatergic. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neuroprotection and Neurotransmitter.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The emerging spectrum of COVID-19 neurology: clinical, radiological and laboratory findings. (278 citations)
  • Amyloid β oligomers constrict human capillaries in Alzheimer’s disease via signaling to pericytes (139 citations)
  • Microglial Ramification, Surveillance, and Interleukin-1β Release Are Regulated by the Two-Pore Domain K+ Channel THIK-1 (137 citations)

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

  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

David Attwell spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Cell biology, Receptor, Oligodendrocyte and Myelin. His research in the fields of Neurotransmitter overlaps with other disciplines such as Traumatic brain injury. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cerebral blood flow, Inflammasome and Depolarization.

His Receptor research includes themes of Cytokine, Potassium channel, Membrane potential and Motility. His Oligodendrocyte study incorporates themes from Calcium metabolism, Myelin basic protein, Premovement neuronal activity and Tetrodotoxin. His study on Myelin also encompasses disciplines like

  • Axon which intersects with area such as Cerebral cortex, Neurotransmission, GABAA receptor, gamma-Aminobutyric acid and Myelinated axon,
  • White matter together with Anatomy.
