Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • DNA

Ichiro Kanazawa spends much of his time researching Genetics, Neuroscience, Motor cortex, Stimulation and Molecular biology. Genetics is represented through his Allele, Trinucleotide repeat expansion, Haplotype, Gene and Single-nucleotide polymorphism research. In his research, Glutamate receptor is intimately related to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which falls under the overarching field of Neuroscience.

His Motor cortex study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Stimulus, Electromyography, Electrophysiology and Pyramidal tracts. His Stimulation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cerebellum, Central nervous system disease and Central nervous system. Ichiro Kanazawa combines subjects such as Plasma protein binding, Huntingtin, Huntingtin Protein, Mutant and Transgene with his study of Molecular biology.

His most cited work include:

  • An ancient retrotransposal insertion causes Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy (690 citations)
  • Dentatorubral and pallidoluysian atrophy expansion of an unstable CAG trinucleotide on chromosome 12p. (648 citations)
  • Serum anti‐GQ1b IgG antibody is associated with ophthalmoplegia in Miller Fisher syndrome and Guillain‐Barré syndrome: Clinical and immunohistochemical studies (579 citations)

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

Ichiro Kanazawa mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Genetics, Molecular biology, Pathology and Internal medicine. Motor cortex, Stimulation, Stimulus, Transcranial magnetic stimulation and Central nervous system are subfields of Neuroscience in which his conducts study. His Motor cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Electromyography, Electrophysiology and Anatomy.

The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in Huntingtin, Mutant and Gene expression. His research in Pathology intersects with topics in Ataxia, Central nervous system disease, Immunology and Spinal cord. His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Gastroenterology and Endocrinology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (19.29%)
  • Genetics (16.03%)
  • Molecular biology (15.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2014)?

  • Cell biology (9.24%)
  • Genetics (16.03%)
  • Neuroscience (19.29%)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Genetics, Neuroscience, Huntingtin and Molecular biology. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Embryonic stem cell, Neurosphere, Adult stem cell and Polyglutamine tract. His studies in Neuroscience integrate themes in fields like Glutamate receptor, AMPA receptor and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

His study in Huntingtin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Programmed cell death and Neuron. His Molecular biology study incorporates themes from RNA, Nuclear protein, Messenger RNA and Histone H3. His study on Motor cortex also encompasses disciplines like

  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation that intertwine with fields like Stimulus,
  • Electromyography that connect with fields like Abductor pollicis brevis muscle and Epilepsy.

Between 2002 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Glutamate receptors: RNA editing and death of motor neurons (444 citations)
  • Clinico-pathological rescue of a model mouse of Huntington's disease by siRNA. (188 citations)
  • Zonisamide improves motor function in Parkinson disease: A randomized, double-blind study (179 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Huntingtin, Molecular biology, Mutant and Cell biology. His work in Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Allele, Haplotype, Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 and Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1 is related to Genetics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Proteome, Transgene, Immunoprecipitation and HMGB1 in addition to Huntingtin.

Ichiro Kanazawa focuses mostly in the field of Molecular biology, narrowing it down to topics relating to RNA and, in certain cases, Grey matter, Messenger RNA, Ionotropic glutamate receptor and Receptor. His work carried out in the field of Mutant brings together such families of science as Non-homologous end joining, DNA, DNA repair, Ku70 and Mutation. His Cell biology course of study focuses on Nuclear protein and Programmed cell death, Neuron, Downregulation and upregulation, Apoptosis and Drosophila melanogaster.
