His main research concerns Neuroscience, Cholinergic, Cholinergic neuron, Neuroplasticity and Basal forebrain. His study in Neuroscience is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and Neurotrophic factors. He focuses mostly in the field of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, narrowing it down to matters related to Entorhinal cortex and, in some cases, Alzheimer's disease.
The various areas that James M. Conner examines in his Neurotrophic factors study include Central nucleus of the amygdala, Stria terminalis and Anterograde axonal transport. Cholinergic connects with themes related to Nerve growth factor in his study. In his study, Brain mapping, Cortical map, Motor learning and Forelimb is strongly linked to Motor skill, which falls under the umbrella field of Neuroplasticity.
James M. Conner spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Nerve growth factor, Cholinergic neuron, Cholinergic and Basal forebrain. His work carried out in the field of Nerve growth factor brings together such families of science as Hippocampal formation, Endocrinology, Central nervous system and Neurotrophin. His studies in Cholinergic neuron integrate themes in fields like Immunology, Forebrain and Neurotransmission.
James M. Conner interconnects Psychiatry, Cognition, Nervous system and Disease in the investigation of issues within Cholinergic. His study looks at the intersection of Basal forebrain and topics like Axoplasmic transport with Trk receptor. The Atrophy, Immunostaining, Alzheimer's disease and Brain-derived neurotrophic factor research James M. Conner does as part of his general Internal medicine study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Gene delivery, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Motor cortex, Forelimb, Cholinergic and Motor learning. His study of Axoplasmic transport is a part of Neuroscience. His Motor cortex study incorporates themes from Synaptic plasticity and Biological neural network.
His research in Forelimb intersects with topics in Neurogenesis, Cortical circuits and Cholinergic neuron. Cholinergic is a primary field of his research addressed under Internal medicine. His Motor learning study combines topics in areas such as Neocortex, Neuroplasticity, Motor skill and Cortex.
His scientific interests lie mostly in Anatomy, Regeneration, Axon, Glial scar and Corticospinal tract. The study incorporates disciplines such as Motor skill, Thalamus, Neocortex, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Motor learning in addition to Anatomy. His Regeneration research incorporates elements of Spinal cord injury, Spinal cord, Transplantation and Neural stem cell.
