Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Insect
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Olfactory Learning, Olfaction, Classical conditioning and Antennal lobe. His studies deal with areas such as Olfactory conditioning and Insect as well as Neuroscience. His Olfactory Learning research incorporates themes from Apidae and Honey bee.

Jean-Christophe Sandoz studied Olfaction and Olfactory system that intersect with Perception. Antennal lobe is a subfield of Odor that Jean-Christophe Sandoz explores. In his research on the topic of Odor, Communication and Olfactory receptor is strongly related with Biological system.

His most cited work include:

  • Invertebrate learning and memory: Fifty years of olfactory conditioning of the proboscis extension response in honeybees. (233 citations)
  • Perceptual and Neural Olfactory Similarity in Honeybees (230 citations)
  • Aversive Learning in Honeybees Revealed by the Olfactory Conditioning of the Sting Extension Reflex (224 citations)

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

Jean-Christophe Sandoz mostly deals with Neuroscience, Antennal lobe, Olfaction, Olfactory Learning and Odor. His Neuroscience research includes themes of Proboscis extension reflex, Classical conditioning, Honey bee and Communication. His work carried out in the field of Antennal lobe brings together such families of science as Pheromone and Anatomy.

His research integrates issues of Evolutionary biology, Apidae, Neural activity and Similarity in his study of Olfaction. His research in Olfactory Learning intersects with topics in Formica fusca, Cognitive psychology and Antenna. His research in Odor intersects with topics in Associative learning, Biological system, Honey Bees and Sensory system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (55.93%)
  • Antennal lobe (37.29%)
  • Olfaction (34.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Honey bee (15.25%)
  • Zoology (12.71%)
  • Olfaction (34.75%)

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

Jean-Christophe Sandoz spends much of his time researching Honey bee, Zoology, Olfaction, Olfactory system and Antennal lobe. His research integrates issues of Classical conditioning and Neuroscience, Perception, Odor in his study of Honey bee. Jean-Christophe Sandoz does research in Neuroscience, focusing on Stimulation specifically.

His research on Odor also deals with topics like

  • Honey Bees which intersects with area such as Pharmacology,
  • Cognitive psychology that connect with fields like Olfactory Learning. His work on Olfactory receptor as part of general Olfaction research is often related to Task, thus linking different fields of science. His Antennal lobe research is included under the broader classification of Insect.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Social Contact Acts as Appetitive Reinforcement and Supports Associative Learning in Honeybees (41 citations)
  • Differential Processing by Two Olfactory Subsystems in the Honeybee Brain. (14 citations)
  • Azadirachtin effects on mating success, gametic abnormalities and progeny survival in Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera) (11 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Ecology
  • Insect

His scientific interests lie mostly in Olfactory Learning, Neuroscience, Honey bee, Flexibility and Olfaction. Jean-Christophe Sandoz combines subjects such as Communication, Foraging, Trophallaxis and Social cue with his study of Olfactory Learning. His studies deal with areas such as Classical conditioning and Visual learning as well as Neuroscience.

His study in Honey bee is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Parallel processing, Antennal lobe, Olfactory system, Proboscis extension reflex and Sensory cue. His Flexibility study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Formica fusca and Cognitive psychology.
