Overview

Jeremy K. Seamans is affiliated with the University of British Columbia in Canada and specializes in neuroscience. Their research primarily focuses on the neural dynamics and brain function, with extensive work in cognitive neuroscience. They have produced a significant body of work spanning several subfields including cellular and molecular neuroscience, neurology, endocrine and autonomic systems, and general decision sciences.

Their research topics cover a broad range of areas:

  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Neural and behavioral psychology studies
  • Functional brain connectivity studies
  • Neuroscience and neuropharmacology research
  • Memory and neural mechanisms
  • EEG and brain-computer interfaces
  • Neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms

Jeremy K. Seamans has published research in notable journals and venues, including:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Journal of Neuroscience
  • Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • Nature Communications
  • Behavioural Brain Research

Several recently published papers reflect their focus on autonomic states and brain function:

  • Event-based control of autonomic and emotional states by the anterior cingulate cortex, 2021, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • The anterior cingulate cortex and event-based modulation of autonomic states, 2021, International Review of Neurobiology

Other relevant papers connected to their field, though authored by different researchers, include:

  • LTD is involved in the formation and maintenance of rat hippocampal CA1 place-cell fields, 2021, Nature Communications
  • Optogenetic modulation of glutamatergic afferents from the ventral subiculum to the nucleus accumbens: Effects on dopamine function, response vigor and locomotor activity, 2022, Behavioural Brain Research
  • Abrupt, Asynchronous Changes in Action Representations by Anterior Cingulate Cortex Neurons during Trial and Error Learning, 2020, Cerebral Cortex

The scientist frequently collaborates with a group of co-authors including Anthony G. Phillips, Adrian Lindsay, James M. Hyman, Stan Floresco, and Soyon Ahn. These co-authors have contributed to multiple publications alongside Jeremy K. Seamans.
