- Enzyme
- Neurotransmitter
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Postsynaptic potential, Synapse, Long-term depression and Biophysics.
His Neuroscience study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Long-term potentiation and AMPA receptor.
His studies examine the connections between Postsynaptic potential and genetics, as well as such issues in Synaptic plasticity, with regards to Calcium.
In his study, Dendrite, Anatomy and Dendritic filopodia is inextricably linked to Neurotransmission, which falls within the broad field of Synapse.
His study looks at the relationship between Biophysics and fields such as NMDA receptor, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
His work carried out in the field of Depolarization brings together such families of science as Hippocampal formation and Glutamate receptor.
His most cited work include:
- Targeted disruption of NMDA receptor 1 gene abolishes NMDA response and results in neonatal death (431 citations)
- Dendritic spines as individual neuronal compartments for synaptic Ca2+ responses. (417 citations)
- A long-term depression of AMPA currents in cultured cerebellar Purkinje neurons. (381 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
John A. Connor mostly deals with Neuroscience, Biophysics, Cell biology, Hippocampal formation and Glutamate receptor.
His research integrates issues of Synaptic plasticity, Long-term potentiation, Long-term depression and Postsynaptic potential in his study of Neuroscience.
John A. Connor works mostly in the field of Long-term depression, limiting it down to topics relating to Synapse and, in certain cases, Neurotransmission and AMPA receptor, as a part of the same area of interest.
The Biophysics study combines topics in areas such as Extracellular, Biochemistry, Intracellular and Calcium.
He combines subjects such as Excitotoxicity, Electrophysiology and Cerebellum with his study of Cell biology.
His study focuses on the intersection of Glutamate receptor and fields such as NMDA receptor with connections in the field of Excitatory postsynaptic potential and In vitro.
He most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (59.72%)
- Biophysics (31.94%)
- Cell biology (25.00%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2015)?
- Neuroscience (59.72%)
- Glutamate receptor (22.22%)
- Entorhinal cortex (5.56%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
John A. Connor focuses on Neuroscience, Glutamate receptor, Entorhinal cortex, Perirhinal cortex and Premovement neuronal activity.
John A. Connor has researched Neuroscience in several fields, including Nonsynaptic plasticity and Audiology.
His Glutamate receptor research integrates issues from Calcium, Dendrite, Cytosol, Hippocampal formation and Microstimulation.
His study in Calcium is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both NMDA receptor, Biophysics, Biochemistry, Intracellular and Hippocampus.
Dendrite is closely attributed to Extracellular in his research.
His Entorhinal cortex study combines topics in areas such as Dentate gyrus, Subiculum, Reversal potential, Status epilepticus and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential.
Between 2007 and 2015, his most popular works were:
- NR2B-NMDA receptor mediated increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentration regulate the tyrosine phosphatase, STEP, and ERK MAP kinase signaling (59 citations)
- Development of epileptiform excitability in the deep entorhinal cortex after status epilepticus. (42 citations)
- Development of epileptiform excitability in the deep entorhinal cortex after status epilepticus. (42 citations)
