Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Gene

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Somatosensory system and Electrophysiology. His research in Thalamus, Bursting, Neuron, Electroencephalography and Sensory system are components of Neuroscience. His Sleep spindle study, which is part of a larger body of work in Electroencephalography, is frequently linked to Electrode array and Interface, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Sleep spindle study combines topics in areas such as Neocortex and Visual cortex. The Inhibitory postsynaptic potential study which covers Patch clamp that intersects with Cortical response, Cerebral cortex, GABAergic and Hippocampus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Stimulus and Barrel cortex in addition to Excitatory postsynaptic potential.

His most cited work include:

  • Dissolvable films of silk fibroin for ultrathin conformal bio-integrated electronics (1114 citations)
  • Flexible, foldable, actively multiplexed, high-density electrode array for mapping brain activity in vivo (767 citations)
  • Single-column thalamocortical network model exhibiting gamma oscillations, sleep spindles, and epileptogenic bursts (350 citations)

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

Diego Contreras mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Sensory system, Visual cortex, Thalamus and In vivo. His study in Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Neocortex, Somatosensory system, Stimulus and Electrophysiology falls within the category of Neuroscience. The concepts of his Sensory system study are interwoven with issues in Bayesian network, Brain activity and meditation and Neuron.

He interconnects Visual perception and Pattern recognition in the investigation of issues within Visual cortex. Diego Contreras combines subjects such as Nerve net, Bursting, Nucleus and Cortex with his study of Thalamus. The various areas that Diego Contreras examines in his In vivo study include Glutamatergic, Epileptogenesis, Intracellular and Barrel cortex.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (81.16%)
  • Sensory system (26.09%)
  • Visual cortex (21.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (81.16%)
  • Visual cortex (21.74%)
  • Thalamus (20.29%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Thalamus, Sensory system and Local field potential. His study in Neuroscience is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Depolarization and In vivo. His research integrates issues of Stimulus and Visual perception in his study of Visual cortex.

His Thalamus study incorporates themes from Nerve net, Cortex and Neuron. Diego Contreras interconnects Hippocampus, Brain mapping and Electroencephalography in the investigation of issues within Neocortex. His Inhibitory postsynaptic potential research incorporates themes from Electrophysiology and Neurotransmitter.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Flexible, foldable, actively multiplexed, high-density electrode array for mapping brain activity in vivo (767 citations)
  • Columnar Interactions Determine Horizontal Propagation of Recurrent Network Activity in Neocortex (97 citations)
  • Ketamine Disrupts Theta Modulation of Gamma in a Computer Model of Hippocampus (92 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Gene

Diego Contreras mainly investigates Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Neocortex, Visual system and Thalamus. His study involves Brain mapping, Visual perception, Sensory system, Stimulus and Hippocampus, a branch of Neuroscience. The various areas that Diego Contreras examines in his Brain mapping study include Brain activity and meditation, Electroencephalography and Sleep spindle.

In general Sensory system study, his work on Barrel cortex often relates to the realm of Context, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Neocortex study frequently links to related topics such as Depolarization. Diego Contreras has researched Thalamus in several fields, including Network activity, Nerve net and Cortical column, Cortex.
