Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Biochemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Neurotransmitter

David R. Curtis mainly investigates Pharmacology, Neuroscience, Amino acid, Biochemistry and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. His Pharmacology research integrates issues from Renshaw cell, Glycine, Muscimol and GABA receptor antagonist. The Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Antagonist and Acetylcholine.

As part of his studies on Amino acid, David R. Curtis often connects relevant subjects like Depression. His Inhibitory postsynaptic potential research includes themes of Bicuculline, Stimulation, Strychnine and Neurotransmission. David R. Curtis has included themes like Ibotenic acid and CATS in his Receptor study.

His most cited work include:

  • Amino acid transmitters in the mammalian central nervous system (926 citations)
  • The excitation and depression of spinal neurones by structurally related amino acids. (737 citations)
  • Bicuculline, an antagonist of GABA and synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord of the cat. (636 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Spinal cord, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Amino acid. The study incorporates disciplines such as Postsynaptic potential, Acetylcholine and Neurotransmission in addition to Neuroscience. His studies deal with areas such as Glycine, CATS, Receptor and Bicuculline, GABA receptor antagonist as well as Pharmacology.

The various areas that David R. Curtis examines in his Spinal cord study include Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Depolarization, Antagonism and Baclofen. His Inhibitory postsynaptic potential study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cerebral cortex, Central nervous system, Cerebellar cortex and Strychnine. His Amino acid study results in a more complete grasp of Biochemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (34.24%)
  • Pharmacology (29.89%)
  • Spinal cord (24.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1988-2011)?

  • Pharmacology (29.89%)
  • Excitatory postsynaptic potential (16.30%)
  • Amino acid (19.57%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Pharmacology, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Amino acid, Neuroscience and AMPA receptor. He interconnects In vitro, Receptor and Baclofen, GABAB receptor, CGP-35348 in the investigation of issues within Pharmacology. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of GABAB receptor, focusing on Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and, on occasion, Postsynaptic potential.

While the research belongs to areas of Excitatory postsynaptic potential, David R. Curtis spends his time largely on the problem of Antagonist, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Nitrosation, Ibotenic acid and Propionate. In his research on the topic of Amino acid, Kainic acid is strongly related with Stereochemistry. His Neuroscience research focuses on subjects like Neurotransmission, which are linked to Electrophysiology.

Between 1988 and 2011, his most popular works were:

  • ACTIONS OF AMINO-ACIDS ON THE ISOLATED HEMISECTED SPINAL CORD OF THE TOAD (123 citations)
  • Novel class of amino acid antagonists at non-N-methyl-D-aspartic acid excitatory amino acid receptors. Synthesis, in vitro and in vivo pharmacology, and neuroprotection. (56 citations)
  • Baclofen: reduction of presynaptic calcium influx in the cat spinal cord in vivo. (40 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Neurotransmitter

David R. Curtis spends much of his time researching Amino acid, Stereochemistry, Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Depolarization. His study in Amino acid is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Excitatory Amino Acid Agonist and Receptor complex. His Stereochemistry research incorporates elements of Kainic acid and N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid.

His Neuroscience research incorporates themes from CGP-35348 and GABAB receptor. His gamma-Aminobutyric acid research extends to the thematically linked field of Pharmacology. His work carried out in the field of Depolarization brings together such families of science as Neurotransmission and Excitatory postsynaptic potential.
