Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation

His scientific interests lie mostly in Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Neuroscience, Evoked potential, Motor cortex and Stimulation. His Transcranial magnetic stimulation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Motor Deficit, Brain stimulation, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Forearm. His work in the fields of Stimulus, Cortex, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Central nervous system overlaps with other areas such as Body movement.

His Evoked potential research includes elements of Electrophysiology, Anatomy, Silent period, Electromyography and Abductor pollicis brevis muscle. His Silent period research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Muscle contraction and Cardiology. In his research, Motor unit and Contraction is intimately related to Motor control, which falls under the overarching field of Motor cortex.

His most cited work include:

  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation and synaptic plasticity: experimental framework and human models (253 citations)
  • The muscle silent period following transcranial magnetic cortical stimulation (221 citations)
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation mapping of the motor cortex in normal subjects. The representation of two intrinsic hand muscles (212 citations)

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

Gary Thickbroom spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Motor cortex, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Evoked potential. His study on Stimulation, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Facilitation and Functional magnetic resonance imaging is often connected to Pulse as part of broader study in Neuroscience. His Transcranial magnetic stimulation research includes themes of Stimulus, Electromyography and Anatomy.

His Motor cortex research incorporates themes from Sensorimotor cortex, Transcranial alternating current stimulation, Brain mapping and Disinhibition. In his study, Brain stimulation is strongly linked to Stroke, which falls under the umbrella field of Physical medicine and rehabilitation. His Evoked potential research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Internal medicine, Electrophysiology, Muscle contraction, Cardiology and Neuroplasticity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (52.76%)
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (52.76%)
  • Motor cortex (34.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2019)?

  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (52.76%)
  • Neuroscience (52.76%)
  • Motor cortex (34.97%)

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

His main research concerns Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Neuroscience, Motor cortex, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Physical therapy. His Transcranial magnetic stimulation study incorporates themes from Stimulus and Disinhibition. His work on Facilitation, Stimulation, Evoked potential and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential as part of general Neuroscience research is frequently linked to Pulse, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His work carried out in the field of Motor cortex brings together such families of science as Stroke, Chronic stroke, Electromyography and Neurology. His work carried out in the field of Physical medicine and rehabilitation brings together such families of science as Spinal cord injury, Index finger and Muscle contraction. His Physical therapy research incorporates themes from Intensity and Transcranial direct-current stimulation.

Between 2010 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of the Brain Mechanisms from Animal and Experimental Models (70 citations)
  • Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and robotic practice in chronic stroke: the dimension of timing. (63 citations)
  • Post-exercise depression in corticomotor excitability after dynamic movement: a general property of fatiguing and non-fatiguing exercise. (51 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Motor cortex, Neuroscience, Physical therapy and Physical medicine and rehabilitation. His Transcranial magnetic stimulation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stroke and Transcranial direct-current stimulation. Gary Thickbroom has researched Motor cortex in several fields, including Chronic stroke, Motor control, Brain stimulation, Index finger and Electromyography.

Stimulation and Facilitation are the primary areas of interest in his Neuroscience study. The Physical therapy study combines topics in areas such as Falling and Rating scale. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Spinal cord injury, Abductor pollicis brevis muscle and Cohort.
