Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Spinal cord
  • Central nervous system

Henricus G.J.M. Kuypers spends much of his time researching Anatomy, Neuroscience, Spinal cord, Rubrospinal tract and Cytoplasm. The study incorporates disciplines such as Red nucleus, Hypothalamus, Frontal lobe and Thalamus in addition to Anatomy. His research on Neuroscience frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Transverse plane.

His research integrates issues of Retrograde tracing and Medulla oblongata in his study of Spinal cord. Henricus G.J.M. Kuypers has included themes like Motor system and Functional organization in his Rubrospinal tract study. Henricus G.J.M. Kuypers interconnects Diamidino yellow, Fast blue, Excitation wavelength, Biophysics and Axon in the investigation of issues within Cytoplasm.

His most cited work include:

  • The functional organization of the motor system in the monkey. I. The effects of bilateral pyramidal lesions. (1081 citations)
  • The functional organization of the motor system in the monkey. II. The effects of lesions of the descending brain-stem pathways. (655 citations)
  • Cortical projections to the red nucleus and the brain stem in the Rhesus monkey. (607 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Anatomy, Neuroscience, Spinal cord, Axoplasmic transport and Reticular formation. His Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nucleus, Red nucleus, Lamina VIII, Tegmentum and Medulla oblongata. Henricus G.J.M. Kuypers integrates Neuroscience and Evans Blue in his research.

The various areas that he examines in his Spinal cord study include Lamina, Dorsum, Medial part and Brainstem. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dorsal column nuclei and Biophysics. His study looks at the relationship between Reticular formation and topics such as Locus coeruleus, which overlap with Barrington's Nucleus and Hypothalamus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anatomy (71.83%)
  • Neuroscience (47.89%)
  • Spinal cord (45.07%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1980-1986)?

  • Anatomy (71.83%)
  • Neuroscience (47.89%)
  • Spinal cord (45.07%)

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

Anatomy, Neuroscience, Spinal cord, Nucleus and Reticular formation are his primary areas of study. His Anatomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cerebellum and Sensory cortex. His Spinal cord research includes elements of Brainstem, Central nervous system, Brain mapping and Red nucleus.

In the subject of general Red nucleus, his work in Rubrospinal tract is often linked to Raphe, thereby combining diverse domains of study. The Nucleus study combines topics in areas such as Diamidino yellow and Axon. His Reticular formation research focuses on Medulla oblongata and how it relates to Superior colliculus, Diencephalon, Antidromic and Tectum.

Between 1980 and 1986, his most popular works were:

  • The Anatomy of Brain Stem Pathways to the Spinal Cord in Cat. A Labeled Amino Acid Tracing Study (377 citations)
  • Diamidino yellow dihydrochloride (DY . 2HCl); a new fluorescent retrograde neuronal tracer, which migrates only very slowly out of the cell. (306 citations)
  • Cortical afferents and efferents of monkey postarcuate area: an anatomical and electrophysiological study. (276 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Central nervous system
  • Neuron

Henricus G.J.M. Kuypers mostly deals with Neuroscience, Anatomy, Cortex, Cerebral cortex and Premotor cortex. Efferent Pathway and Efferent are subfields of Neuroscience in which his conducts study. His Anatomy research incorporates elements of Amino acid, Brain mapping and Spinal cord.

His study in Cortex is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Visually guided, Neuron and Arcuate sulcus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Motor system and Motor coordination in addition to Cerebral cortex. His Premotor cortex study combines topics in areas such as Frontal lobe, Visual field, Sensory cue and Primary motor cortex.
