Egbert Welker has included themes like Cerebral cortex and Stimulation in his Dendritic spine study.
His most cited work include:
- Long-term in vivo imaging of experience-dependent synaptic plasticity in adult cortex (1561 citations)
- Experience-dependent and cell-type-specific spine growth in the neocortex. (519 citations)
- Experience and activity-dependent maturation of perisomatic GABAergic innervation in primary visual cortex during a postnatal critical period. (478 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Neuroscience, Barrel cortex, Somatosensory system, Anatomy and Sensory system are his primary areas of study.
Neuroscience is represented through his Cerebral cortex, Cortex, Stimulation, Synapse and Excitatory postsynaptic potential research.
In his research on the topic of Cortex, Synaptic plasticity is strongly related with Receptive field.
His research in Barrel cortex intersects with topics in Lesion, Dendritic spine, Neocortex, Biophysics and Reinnervation.
His studies in Anatomy integrate themes in fields like Central nervous system and Thalamus.
Egbert Welker combines subjects such as Neuroplasticity, Visual cortex and Posterior parietal cortex with his study of Sensory system.
He most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (71.21%)
- Barrel cortex (48.48%)
- Somatosensory system (43.94%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2015)?
- Neuroscience (71.21%)
- Barrel cortex (48.48%)
- Somatosensory system (43.94%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Egbert Welker mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Barrel cortex, Somatosensory system, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Dendritic spine.
He is studying Neocortex, which is a component of Neuroscience.
His studies deal with areas such as Tripartite synapse and Sensory processing as well as Barrel cortex.
His research on Somatosensory system also deals with topics like
- Environmental enrichment most often made with reference to Sensory system,
- Neuropil most often made with reference to Synapse.
His Excitatory postsynaptic potential research incorporates themes from NMDA receptor, Astrocyte, Cerebral cortex and Neurotransmission.
Egbert Welker focuses mostly in the field of Dendritic spine, narrowing it down to topics relating to Axon and, in certain cases, Biocytin and Cortical column.
Between 2007 and 2015, his most popular works were:
- PSD-95 promotes synaptogenesis and multiinnervated spine formation through nitric oxide signaling (136 citations)
- Membrane potential dynamics of neocortical projection neurons driving target-specific signals. (113 citations)
- Mutations in Eml1 lead to ectopic progenitors and neuronal heterotopia in mouse and human (90 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Neuron
- Central nervous system
- Neuroscience
His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Dendritic spine, Heterotopia, Wild type and Neocortex.
His Neuroscience study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Postsynaptic potential.
His Dendritic spine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biophysics, Neuron and Microscopy.
Heterotopia combines with fields such as Progenitor, Embryonic stem cell and PAFAH1B1 in his investigation.
