Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Central nervous system
  • Neuroscience

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.

His most cited work include:

  • Distribution of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) Protein and mRNA in the Normal Adult Rat CNS: Evidence for Anterograde Axonal Transport (935 citations)
  • A phase 1 clinical trial of nerve growth factor gene therapy for Alzheimer disease (850 citations)
  • Neuroprotective effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in rodent and primate models of Alzheimer's disease (681 citations)

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

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.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (50.00%)
  • Nerve growth factor (51.72%)
  • Cholinergic neuron (37.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2019)?

  • Neuroscience (50.00%)
  • Motor cortex (17.24%)
  • Forelimb (10.34%)

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

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.

Between 2014 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Nerve Growth Factor Gene Therapy: Activation of Neuronal Responses in Alzheimer Disease (155 citations)
  • Spinal cord reconstitution with homologous neural grafts enables robust corticospinal regeneration (146 citations)
  • Thalamocortical Projections onto Behaviorally Relevant Neurons Exhibit Plasticity during Adult Motor Learning (39 citations)

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

  • Neuron
  • Central nervous system
  • Internal medicine

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.
