Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

Didier Pinault focuses on Neuroscience, Thalamus, Reticular connective tissue, Electrophysiology and Thalamic reticular nucleus. His Neuroscience study is mostly concerned with Electroencephalography and Amygdala. His Thalamus research includes elements of Biocytin, Somatosensory system, Hippocampus and Perception.

His Biocytin research incorporates elements of Nucleus and Neuron. Didier Pinault interconnects Anesthesia, Striatum, Nucleus accumbens, Prefrontal cortex and Local field potential in the investigation of issues within Electrophysiology. His Thalamic reticular nucleus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Consciousness, Biological neural network, Cognition and Anatomy.

His most cited work include:

  • A novel single-cell staining procedure performed in vivo under electrophysiological control: morpho-functional features of juxtacellularly labeled thalamic cells and other central neurons with biocytin or Neurobiotin (623 citations)
  • The thalamic reticular nucleus: structure, function and concept. (420 citations)
  • Corticothalamic projections from the cortical barrel field to the somatosensory thalamus in rats: a single-fibre study using biocytin as an anterograde tracer. (323 citations)

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

Didier Pinault mostly deals with Neuroscience, Thalamus, Thalamic reticular nucleus, Electrophysiology and Chemistry. The Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as NMDA receptor and Psychosis. His Thalamus study incorporates themes from Psychotomimetic, Cerebral cortex, Reticular connective tissue, Lateral inhibition and Depolarization.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biocytin, GABAergic, Hippocampal formation and Kindling. His Biocytin research includes themes of Axon, Anatomy and Neuron. His research integrates issues of Synaptic plasticity, Anesthesia and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Excitatory postsynaptic potential in his study of Electrophysiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (110.53%)
  • Thalamus (67.11%)
  • Thalamic reticular nucleus (42.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Neuroscience (110.53%)
  • NMDA receptor (34.21%)
  • Psychosis (28.95%)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, NMDA receptor, Psychosis, Glutamatergic and Sleep spindle. His study in the field of Thalamus and Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance also crosses realms of Reticular activating system and Chemistry. As part of his studies on Thalamus, Didier Pinault often connects relevant subjects like Electrophysiology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Schizophrenia, Ketamine, Stimulation, Cortex and Posterior parietal cortex in addition to Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance. His Reticular activating system study overlaps with Thalamic reticular nucleus and Electroencephalography. In his study, Cognition, Cerebral cortex and Somatosensory system is strongly linked to Glutamate receptor, which falls under the umbrella field of Psychosis.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The N-Methyl d-Aspartate Glutamate Receptor Antagonist Ketamine Disrupts the Functional State of the Corticothalamic Pathway (19 citations)
  • The N-Methyl d-Aspartate Glutamate Receptor Antagonist Ketamine Disrupts the Functional State of the Corticothalamic Pathway (19 citations)
  • A Neurophysiological Perspective on a Preventive Treatment against Schizophrenia Using Transcranial Electric Stimulation of the Corticothalamic Pathway (9 citations)
