Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Acoustics
  • Neuron

His primary scientific interests are in Inferior colliculus, Neuroscience, Electrophysiology, Bicuculline and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. George D. Pollak has researched Inferior colliculus in several fields, including Binaural recording, Human echolocation, Central nervous system, Auditory system and Monaural. His Auditory system study incorporates themes from Acoustics, Tonotopy and Anatomy.

His study on Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Nucleus, Lateral lemniscus and GABAergic is often connected to Chemistry as part of broader study in Neuroscience. His study looks at the relationship between Excitatory postsynaptic potential and fields such as Communication, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Inhibitory postsynaptic potential is often connected to Sound localization in his work.

His most cited work include:

  • Disproportionate frequency representation in the inferior colliculus of doppler-compensating Greater Horseshoe bats: Evidence for an acoustic fovea (172 citations)
  • GABA and glycine in the central auditory system of the mustache bat: Structural substrates for inhibitory neuronal organization (159 citations)
  • GABA shapes sensitivity to interaural intensity disparities in the mustache bat's inferior colliculus: implications for encoding sound location (155 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Inferior colliculus, Neuroscience, Human echolocation, Auditory system and Excitatory postsynaptic potential. His work carried out in the field of Inferior colliculus brings together such families of science as Acoustics, Binaural recording, Sound localization, Electrophysiology and Communication. Many of his research projects under Neuroscience are closely connected to Chemistry with Chemistry, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His study in Human echolocation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Spatiotemporal pattern, Tone burst and Auditory cortex. His research investigates the connection between Auditory system and topics such as Superior olivary complex that intersect with problems in Superior colliculus. His Excitatory postsynaptic potential study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Stimulus and Neuron.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Inferior colliculus (88.12%)
  • Neuroscience (61.39%)
  • Human echolocation (32.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2016)?

  • Inferior colliculus (88.12%)
  • Neuroscience (61.39%)
  • Excitatory postsynaptic potential (23.76%)

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

His primary areas of study are Inferior colliculus, Neuroscience, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Lateral lemniscus. His research in Inferior colliculus intersects with topics in Communication, Human echolocation, Auditory system, Sound localization and Neural Inhibition. His Sound localization research incorporates themes from Binaural recording and Patch clamp.

His Stimulus, Whole-Cell Recordings and Neuron study in the realm of Neuroscience interacts with subjects such as Directionality. As a part of the same scientific study, George D. Pollak usually deals with the Excitatory postsynaptic potential, concentrating on Electrophysiology and frequently concerns with Evoked potential. The concepts of his Lateral lemniscus study are interwoven with issues in Inferior Colliculi and Brainstem.

Between 2006 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Syllable acoustics, temporal patterns, and call composition vary with behavioral context in Mexican free-tailed bats (101 citations)
  • Spectrotemporal Receptive Fields in the Inferior Colliculus Revealing Selectivity for Spectral Motion in Conspecific Vocalizations (86 citations)
  • Rethinking Tuning: In Vivo Whole-Cell Recordings of the Inferior Colliculus in Awake Bats (73 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Acoustics
  • Neuron

George D. Pollak mainly investigates Inferior colliculus, Neuroscience, Communication, Syllable and Sound localization. He interconnects Stimulus, Biological neural network and Brainstem in the investigation of issues within Inferior colliculus. His Communication research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in GABAergic, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Precedence effect and Lateral lemniscus.

The Inhibitory postsynaptic potential study combines topics in areas such as Receptive field and Sound pressure. His Excitatory postsynaptic potential study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Motion and Motion cues. His work deals with themes such as Patch clamp, Neural Inhibition, Psychoacoustics and Sensory threshold, which intersect with Sound localization.
