Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Neuroscience

Gregory F. Ball spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Testosterone, Neuroscience and Song control system. Preoptic area, Hypothalamus, Estrogen, Androgen and Quail are among the areas of Internal medicine where he concentrates his study. The Endocrinology study combines topics in areas such as Glutamate receptor and Nucleus.

Gregory F. Ball combines subjects such as Neuroendocrinology, Steroid hormone, Sexual dimorphism, Neuroplasticity and Sexual differentiation with his study of Testosterone. His Neuroscience study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Immediate early gene and Communication. His Song control system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Songbird, Courtship and Taeniopygia.

His most cited work include:

  • The "Challenge Hypothesis": Theoretical Implications for Patterns of Testosterone Secretion, Mating Systems, and Breeding Strategies (1834 citations)
  • Revised nomenclature for avian telencephalon and some related brainstem nuclei. (916 citations)
  • Photoperiodic Control of Seasonality in Birds (717 citations)

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

His main research concerns Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Neuroscience, Quail and Testosterone. Endocrinology is closely attributed to Receptor in his research. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Songbird and Nucleus.

Gregory F. Ball has researched Songbird in several fields, including Sturnus and Zebra finch. The various areas that Gregory F. Ball examines in his Quail study include Aromatase inhibitor and Stria terminalis. His Preoptic area research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Dopaminergic and Dopamine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Endocrinology (60.89%)
  • Internal medicine (60.89%)
  • Neuroscience (22.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Endocrinology (60.89%)
  • Internal medicine (60.89%)
  • Neuroscience (22.77%)

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

Gregory F. Ball mainly investigates Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Neuroscience, Testosterone and Songbird. His research in Endocrinology tackles topics such as Aromatase inhibitor which are related to areas like Vorozole. His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Singing and Nucleus.

The concepts of his Neuroscience study are interwoven with issues in Sexual selection and Steroid. His Testosterone research incorporates themes from Neurogenesis, Serinus canaria and Ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus. His studies deal with areas such as Arcopallium and Testosterone as well as Song control system.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The dual action of estrogen hypothesis. (39 citations)
  • Estrogen receptor β activation rapidly modulates male sexual motivation through the transactivation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1a (39 citations)
  • Pleiotropic Control by Testosterone of a Learned Vocal Behavior and Its Underlying Neuroplasticity(1,2,3). (32 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Gregory F. Ball mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Testosterone and Hormone. His Internal medicine research integrates issues from Aromatase inhibitor and Estrogen receptor beta. His Endocrinology study incorporates themes from Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5, Metabotropic glutamate receptor, GPER, Diarylpropionitrile and Pharmacology.

His work carried out in the field of Neuroscience brings together such families of science as Sexual selection, Steroid and Nuclear receptor. His Testosterone study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Neurogenesis, Neuroplasticity and Adult male. His Hormone research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Stereotypy, Syrinx and Aromatase inhibition.
