Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

Pharmacology, Cell biology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Biochemistry are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Glutamate receptor, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Picrotoxin. As part of one scientific family, Jeffery L. Barker deals mainly with the area of Cell biology, narrowing it down to issues related to the GABAA receptor, and often GABAergic and Interleukin 10 receptor, alpha subunit.

His research in the fields of Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Estrogen overlaps with other disciplines such as Selective estrogen receptor modulator and Neurotoxicity. His Biochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biophysics and Depolarization. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Membrane, Calcium and Neuron.

His most cited work include:

  • Steroid Hormone Metabolites are Barbiturate-Like Modulators of the GABA Receptor (1987 citations)
  • NMDA-receptor activation increases cytoplasmic calcium concentration in cultured spinal cord neurones (1548 citations)
  • Large-scale temporal gene expression mapping of central nervous system development. (623 citations)

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

Jeffery L. Barker mostly deals with Neuroscience, Biophysics, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Cell biology. His work in Neuroscience addresses subjects such as GABAA receptor, which are connected to disciplines such as Protein subunit. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Membrane, Biochemistry and Patch clamp.

Internal medicine is frequently linked to In situ hybridization in his study. His Endocrinology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and Spinal cord. Jeffery L. Barker has included themes like Glutamate receptor, Embryonic stem cell, Cell and Cell culture in his Cell biology study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (33.81%)
  • Biophysics (28.78%)
  • Internal medicine (23.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2012)?

  • Cell biology (21.58%)
  • Neuroscience (33.81%)
  • Internal medicine (23.74%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Neural stem cell. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and Precursor cell. His research investigates the connection between Neuroscience and topics such as Cellular differentiation that intersect with problems in Cortex and Gene expression profiling.

His Signal transduction research extends to the thematically linked field of Internal medicine. His Endocrinology study combines topics in areas such as Protein kinase B and Protein kinase A. Jeffery L. Barker is involved in the study of Biophysics that focuses on Membrane potential in particular.

Between 1999 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • CNS stem and progenitor cell differentiation into functional neuronal circuits in three-dimensional collagen gels. (200 citations)
  • GABA Receptor Antagonists Modulate Postmitotic Cell Migration in Slice Cultures of Embryonic Rat Cortex (188 citations)
  • Acetylcholine stimulates cortical precursor cell proliferation in vitro via muscarinic receptor activation and MAP kinase phosphorylation. (162 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

Jeffery L. Barker spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Neuroscience, Neural stem cell, Neuroepithelial cell and Neurogenesis. His Cell biology research includes themes of Cell culture and Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1, Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2. Jeffery L. Barker combines subjects such as Vertebrate, Neurite and Ion homeostasis with his study of Neuroscience.

His Neural stem cell research includes elements of Progenitor cell and Basic fibroblast growth factor. In his study, Neuron is inextricably linked to GABAergic, which falls within the broad field of Subventricular zone. Jeffery L. Barker is investigating Endocrinology and Internal medicine as part of his examination of Dehydroepiandrosterone.
