Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Axon, Stimulation and Synapse. His Neuroscience research incorporates themes from Calcium and Postsynaptic potential. Harold L. Atwood undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Procambarus clarkii in his work.

The concepts of his Axon study are interwoven with issues in Active zone and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. His studies in Anatomy integrate themes in fields like Facilitation and Crustacean. Harold L. Atwood interconnects Biophysics and Neurotransmitter in the investigation of issues within Neuromuscular junction.

His most cited work include:

  • The GTPase dMiro is required for axonal transport of mitochondria to Drosophila synapses. (468 citations)
  • Organization and synaptic physiology of crustacean neuromuscular systems (294 citations)
  • Diversification of synaptic strength: presynaptic elements. (279 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Neurotransmission, Neuromuscular junction and Axon. His Synapse, Stimulation, Tonic and Electrophysiology study, which is part of a larger body of work in Neuroscience, is frequently linked to Motor neuron, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Excitatory postsynaptic potential study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Synaptic vesicle and Anatomy.

His Neurotransmission research incorporates elements of Neurotransmitter, Shock, Mutant, Neuron and Cell biology. His Neuromuscular junction study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Free nerve ending, Postsynaptic potential, Biophysics, Adenylyl cyclase and Nervous system. His research integrates issues of Depolarization and Neuromuscular transmission in his study of Axon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (58.38%)
  • Excitatory postsynaptic potential (29.48%)
  • Neurotransmission (27.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2020)?

  • Cell biology (17.92%)
  • Neuroscience (58.38%)
  • Neurotransmission (27.17%)

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

Harold L. Atwood mainly investigates Cell biology, Neuroscience, Neurotransmission, Neurotransmitter and Neuromuscular junction. Harold L. Atwood has included themes like Receptor, Postsynaptic potential, Exocytosis and Vesicle, Synaptic vesicle in his Cell biology study. In general Neuroscience, his work in Tonic and Neural facilitation is often linked to Motor neuron linking many areas of study.

His Tonic research integrates issues from Active zone and Anatomy. His Neurotransmission study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Electrophysiology, Calcium metabolism, Mutant, Intracellular and Drosophila. His Neuromuscular junction research incorporates themes from Heat shock protein, Hsp70, Shock, Synapse and Mitochondrial transport.

Between 2001 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The GTPase dMiro is required for axonal transport of mitochondria to Drosophila synapses. (468 citations)
  • Diversification of synaptic strength: presynaptic elements. (279 citations)
  • Quantal size and variation determined by vesicle size in normal and mutant Drosophila glutamatergic synapses. (135 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter

Harold L. Atwood focuses on Cell biology, Neuroscience, Neurotransmitter, Exocytosis and Synaptic vesicle. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Vesicle fusion, Stimulation and Postsynaptic potential. While the research belongs to areas of Postsynaptic potential, Harold L. Atwood spends his time largely on the problem of Neuromuscular junction, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Free nerve ending, Axoplasmic transport, Drosophila Protein, Mitochondrion and Mitochondrial transport.

His research in Neuroscience intersects with topics in Synaptic morphology and Calcium. His work in Neurotransmitter tackles topics such as Neurotransmission which are related to areas like Mutant and Synaptic plasticity. His study looks at the relationship between Synaptic vesicle and topics such as Glutamatergic, which overlap with Patch clamp, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Synaptic pharmacology and Synaptic augmentation.
