Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Insect

His primary areas of study are Endocrinology, Metamorphosis, Cell biology, Manduca sexta and Anatomy. His research in Endocrinology intersects with topics in Ecdysis and Ecdysone receptor. His Metamorphosis research integrates issues from Receptor, Ecdysone and Drosophila melanogaster.

His work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Genetics, Botany, Sensory neuron, Mutant and Enhancer. His Manduca sexta research is within the category of Insect. His studies in Anatomy integrate themes in fields like Sensory system, Neuroblast and Nervous system.

His most cited work include:

  • Spatial and temporal patterns of neurogenesis in the central nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster (583 citations)
  • Ecdysone receptors and their biological actions. (466 citations)
  • The Role of the Prothoracic Gland in Determining Critical Weight for Metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster (353 citations)

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

James W. Truman spends much of his time researching Endocrinology, Manduca sexta, Cell biology, Metamorphosis and Neuroscience. His Endocrinology study combines topics in areas such as Neuropeptide and Ecdysis. As part of one scientific family, James W. Truman deals mainly with the area of Manduca sexta, narrowing it down to issues related to the Moulting, and often Instar.

James W. Truman combines subjects such as Drosophila melanogaster, Imaginal disc, Programmed cell death and Ecdysone receptor with his study of Cell biology. The concepts of his Metamorphosis study are interwoven with issues in Ecdysone, Juvenile hormone, Anatomy and Nervous system. The various areas that James W. Truman examines in his Anatomy study include Period and Circadian rhythm.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Endocrinology (40.69%)
  • Manduca sexta (39.39%)
  • Cell biology (35.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (36.80%)
  • Nervous system (25.97%)
  • Neuroblast (16.02%)

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

Neuroscience, Nervous system, Neuroblast, Neuropil and Sensory system are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Mushroom bodies, Drosophila and Drosophila in his study of Neuroscience. His studies deal with areas such as Neurogenesis, Phenotype, Sensory cue and Anatomy as well as Nervous system.

His Neuroblast research incorporates elements of Lineage and Ventral nerve cord. He usually deals with Larva and limits it to topics linked to Ecdysone receptor and Juvenile hormone. His Adult stage research includes elements of Metamorphosis and Cell biology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Functional architecture of reward learning in mushroom body extrinsic neurons of larval Drosophila. (63 citations)
  • Four Individually Identified Paired Dopamine Neurons Signal Reward in Larval Drosophila. (60 citations)
  • The evolution of insect metamorphosis: a developmental and endocrine view. (39 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Genetics

James W. Truman spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Neuroblast, Nervous system, Neuromere and GABAergic. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mushroom bodies, Drosophila melanogaster and Anatomy. In Anatomy, he works on issues like Insect, which are connected to Metamorphosis.

His Nervous system research includes themes of Neurogenesis and MARCM. His work in Neurogenesis covers topics such as Lineage which are related to areas like Cell biology. His studies in GABAergic integrate themes in fields like Ventral nerve cord, Central nervous system, Neurotransmitter, Glutamate receptor and Acetylcholine.
