Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Cerebral cortex

Huizhong W. Tao focuses on Neuroscience, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Receptive field and Neuron. His work on Visual cortex, Auditory cortex and Sensory system as part of general Neuroscience research is frequently linked to Chemistry, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His studies in Sensory system integrate themes in fields like Recurrent thalamo-cortical resonance and Thalamus.

His work on Neural Inhibition as part of his general Excitatory postsynaptic potential study is frequently connected to Xenopus, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. While the research belongs to areas of Neuron, Huizhong W. Tao spends his time largely on the problem of Biological neural network, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Axonal tracing, Superior colliculus and Sensory processing. As part of the same scientific family, Huizhong W. Tao usually focuses on Anatomy, concentrating on Synapse and intersecting with Synaptic augmentation, Metaplasticity, Synaptic fatigue and Spike-timing-dependent plasticity.

His most cited work include:

  • A critical window for cooperation and competition among developing retinotectal synapses (738 citations)
  • Lateral sharpening of cortical frequency tuning by approximately balanced inhibition. (238 citations)
  • AAV-Mediated Anterograde Transsynaptic Tagging: Mapping Corticocollicular Input-Defined Neural Pathways for Defense Behaviors. (234 citations)

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

Huizhong W. Tao mainly investigates Neuroscience, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Auditory cortex and Sensory system. His work is connected to Visual cortex, Receptive field, Biological neural network, Neuron and Neural Inhibition, as a part of Neuroscience. His Inhibitory postsynaptic potential research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stimulus, Surround suppression and Parvalbumin.

His Excitatory postsynaptic potential study deals with Patch clamp intersecting with Membrane potential. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Interneuron and Auditory perception. His studies deal with areas such as Optogenetics, Salience and Thalamus as well as Sensory system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (91.76%)
  • Inhibitory postsynaptic potential (42.35%)
  • Excitatory postsynaptic potential (42.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (91.76%)
  • Inhibitory postsynaptic potential (42.35%)
  • Sensory system (29.41%)

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

Huizhong W. Tao mostly deals with Neuroscience, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Sensory system, Auditory cortex and Parvalbumin. His studies link Cross modality with Neuroscience. His work on Inhibitory postsynaptic potential is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Visual cortex.

His research in Sensory system focuses on subjects like Neuron, which are connected to Whisking in animals, Primary sensory areas, Sensory cortex and Tonotopy. Huizhong W. Tao combines subjects such as Stimulus modality and Perception with his study of Parvalbumin. His Thalamus research incorporates elements of Superior colliculus and Receptive field.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Synaptic Specificity and Application of Anterograde Transsynaptic AAV for Probing Neural Circuitry. (21 citations)
  • Sparse Representation in Awake Auditory Cortex: Cell-type Dependence, Synaptic Mechanisms, Developmental Emergence, and Modulation (18 citations)
  • Contextual and cross-modality modulation of auditory cortical processing through pulvinar mediated suppression. (12 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Sensory system, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Auditory cortex. His work on Superior colliculus, Optogenetics and Axoplasmic transport as part of general Neuroscience study is frequently linked to Animal behavior and Modulation, bridging the gap between disciplines. The Superior colliculus study which covers Thalamus that intersects with Visual cortex.

The various areas that Huizhong W. Tao examines in his Axoplasmic transport study include Synapse, Biological neural network, GABAergic and Cholinergic. There are a combination of areas like Looming and Receptive field integrated together with his Modulation study. His research integrates issues of Stimulus modality, Sparse approximation, Parvalbumin and Neural coding in his study of Excitatory postsynaptic potential.
