Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Neuron

His primary areas of study are Suprachiasmatic nucleus, Neuroscience, Retinal ganglion, Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells and Retina. Endocrinology covers Gary E. Pickard research in Suprachiasmatic nucleus. His Light effects on circadian rhythm and Circadian rhythm study are his primary interests in Endocrinology.

His study in Neuroscience focuses on Retinohypothalamic tract and Nucleus. His Retinal ganglion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Retinal ganglion cell and Optic tract. He works mostly in the field of Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, limiting it down to topics relating to Melanopsin and, in certain cases, Visual phototransduction.

His most cited work include:

  • The afferent connections of the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the golden hamster with emphasis on the retinohypothalamic projection (376 citations)
  • The Intergeniculate Leaflet Partially Mediates Effects of Light on Circadian Rhythms (243 citations)
  • Melanopsin retinal ganglion cells receive bipolar and amacrine cell synapses (236 citations)

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

Gary E. Pickard mainly focuses on Suprachiasmatic nucleus, Endocrinology, Circadian rhythm, Neuroscience and Retinal ganglion. His work in Suprachiasmatic nucleus addresses subjects such as Retinal, which are connected to disciplines such as Nucleus. As a part of the same scientific study, Gary E. Pickard usually deals with the Endocrinology, concentrating on Transplantation and frequently concerns with Neuropil.

His Circadian rhythm research focuses on subjects like Hypothalamus, which are linked to Anterograde tracing. Gary E. Pickard studied Neuroscience and Serotonergic that intersect with Agonist and Glutamatergic. Green fluorescent protein and Capsid is closely connected to Cell biology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Retinal ganglion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Suprachiasmatic nucleus (53.68%)
  • Endocrinology (50.53%)
  • Circadian rhythm (45.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2016)?

  • Neuroscience (43.16%)
  • Virology (18.95%)
  • Giant retinal ganglion cells (16.84%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Virology, Giant retinal ganglion cells, Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells and Retinal ganglion. His research investigates the connection with Neuroscience and areas like Endocrinology which intersect with concerns in Small Molecule Libraries. He works mostly in the field of Virology, limiting it down to topics relating to Transport protein and, in certain cases, Dynein, Viral protein, Immunoprecipitation, Dynactin and Microtubule, as a part of the same area of interest.

He has included themes like Retinal ganglion cell, GABAergic and Serotonergic, Dorsal raphe nucleus in his Retinal ganglion study. His Capsid study combines topics in areas such as Viral replication and Cell biology. His Suprachiasmatic nucleus research incorporates elements of Bacterial circadian rhythms, Chronobiology and Zeitgeber.

Between 2011 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • The herpesvirus VP1/2 protein is an effector of dynein-mediated capsid transport and neuroinvasion. (89 citations)
  • The herpesvirus VP1/2 protein is an effector of dynein-mediated capsid transport and neuroinvasion. (89 citations)
  • The injury resistant ability of melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells. (70 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Neuron

Gary E. Pickard focuses on Neuroscience, Melanopsin, Giant retinal ganglion cells, Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells and Retina. His research in Neuroscience is mostly concerned with Visual phototransduction. His studies deal with areas such as Endocrinology and Drug discovery as well as Visual phototransduction.

His research integrates issues of Light Signal Transduction, Small Molecule Libraries, Small molecule, Molecular neuroscience and Rhodopsin in his study of Endocrinology. As a member of one scientific family, Gary E. Pickard mostly works in the field of Giant retinal ganglion cells, focusing on Visual system and, on occasion, Retinal and Retinal waves. Pupillary light reflex is intertwined with Retinal ganglion, Photopigment, Mitochondrial optic neuropathies and Retinohypothalamic tract in his study.
