Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience

James W. Fawcett mainly investigates Neuroscience, Axon, Cell biology, Perineuronal net and Regeneration. His Axon study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Proteoglycan, Molecular biology, Oligodendrocyte, Chondroitin sulfate and Glial scar. His studies deal with areas such as Neuroglia, Astrocyte and Anatomy as well as Cell biology.

The Peripheral nerve research he does as part of his general Anatomy study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Basal lamina, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His studies in Perineuronal net integrate themes in fields like Nerve net and Tenascin. His Regeneration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Synaptic plasticity, Cellular neuroscience, Chondroitin, Calcium signaling and Cytoskeleton.

His most cited work include:

  • Chondroitinase ABC promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury (1874 citations)
  • The glial scar and central nervous system repair (1527 citations)
  • Reactivation of Ocular Dominance Plasticity in the Adult Visual Cortex (1239 citations)

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

James W. Fawcett mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Cell biology, Axon, Regeneration and Central nervous system. His Neuroscience study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Extracellular matrix. His research on Cell biology also deals with topics like

  • Astrocyte which intersects with area such as Neuroglia,
  • Immunology most often made with reference to Oligodendrocyte.

His Axon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Axotomy and Glial scar. His study ties his expertise on Peripheral nervous system together with the subject of Regeneration. The study incorporates disciplines such as Proteoglycan, Versican, Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan and Glycosaminoglycan in addition to Perineuronal net.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (43.73%)
  • Cell biology (37.07%)
  • Axon (34.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (43.73%)
  • Cell biology (37.07%)
  • Axon (34.13%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Cell biology, Axon, Regeneration and Central nervous system. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neurite, Neuroprotection, Anatomy, Integrin and Retina. His work carried out in the field of Anatomy brings together such families of science as Neuroglia and Catheter.

James W. Fawcett has included themes like Glial scar, Signal transduction, Dorsal root ganglion and Optic nerve in his Axon study. His Regeneration research incorporates themes from Growth cone, Cell, Spinal cord injury and Neuron. His research integrates issues of Induced pluripotent stem cell, Scars, Endosome and Spinal cord in his study of Central nervous system.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Casting a Wide Net: Role of Perineuronal Nets in Neural Plasticity. (186 citations)
  • The soft mechanical signature of glial scars in the central nervous system. (155 citations)
  • The roles of perineuronal nets and the perinodal extracellular matrix in neuronal function (93 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Central nervous system

James W. Fawcett focuses on Neuroscience, Perineuronal net, Cell biology, Axon and Extracellular matrix. His Neuroscience research focuses on Glycosaminoglycan and how it connects with Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. The various areas that James W. Fawcett examines in his Perineuronal net study include Semaphorin, Perirhinal cortex and Proteoglycan, Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan.

His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Integrin and Central nervous system. He has researched Central nervous system in several fields, including TSG-6, Axoplasmic transport, Anatomy and Spinal cord. The Axon study combines topics in areas such as Regeneration and Glial scar.
