What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Neuroscience
- Ecology
- Internal medicine
His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Receptive field, Anatomy and Binocular neurons.
His work on Visual system as part of general Visual cortex research is often related to Rivalry, thus linking different fields of science.
His studies deal with areas such as Stimulus, Optics and Eye movement as well as Receptive field.
The various areas that John D. Pettigrew examines in his Stimulus study include Stereopsis, Monocular and Acoustics.
His Anatomy research includes themes of Retina and Platypus.
In his study, Visual processing, Cerebrum, Barn-owl and Depth perception is inextricably linked to Binocular disparity, which falls within the broad field of Binocular neurons.
His most cited work include:
- The neural mechanism of binocular depth discrimination (1097 citations)
- Depletion of brain catecholamines: failure of ocular dominance shift after monocular occlusion in kittens (397 citations)
- Analysis of retinal correspondence by studying receptive fields of rinocular single units in cat striate cortex (386 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Anatomy, Visual cortex, Binocular rivalry and Receptive field.
His study explores the link between Neuroscience and topics such as Kitten that cross with problems in Monocular deprivation.
His biological study deals with issues like Retina, which deal with fields such as Retinal and Ganglion.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Visual perception and Visual field in addition to Visual cortex.
His Receptive field study combines topics in areas such as Stereopsis, Optics and Orientation column.
The Stimulus study combines topics in areas such as Acoustics and Monocular.
He most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (32.91%)
- Anatomy (25.21%)
- Visual cortex (17.09%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2018)?
- Neuroscience (32.91%)
- Binocular rivalry (13.68%)
- Anatomy (25.21%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Binocular rivalry, Anatomy, Cognitive psychology and Visual cortex.
His Binocular rivalry research incorporates themes from Caloric theory and Endophenotype.
His research investigates the connection between Anatomy and topics such as Retina that intersect with problems in Visual acuity.
His Cognitive psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Stimulus, Psychosis, Hallucinogen, Psilocybin and Serotonin.
His studies in Visual cortex integrate themes in fields like Stereopsis, Neurophysiology, Visual research and Schematic eye.
His Primate research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Primate visual cortex, Visual perception, Cortex and Posterior parietal cortex.
Between 2006 and 2018, his most popular works were:
- Genetic contribution to individual variation in binocular rivalry rate (80 citations)
- Psilocybin links binocular rivalry switch rate to attention and subjective arousal levels in humans. (74 citations)
- Nuclear organization of cholinergic, putative catecholaminergic and serotonergic systems in the brains of two megachiropteran species. (49 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Neuroscience
- Internal medicine
- Ecology
His main research concerns Neuroscience, Retina, Anatomy, Binocular rivalry and Retinal ganglion.
His Neuroscience research focuses on Hypothalamus, Habenular nuclei, Zona incerta, Optic tract and Epithalamus.
His work carried out in the field of Retina brings together such families of science as Decussation and Primate.
His Binocular rivalry research incorporates elements of Caloric theory and Vestibular system.
The concepts of his Retinal ganglion study are interwoven with issues in Retinal ganglion cell, African elephant, Visual acuity and Ganglion.
John D. Pettigrew combines subjects such as Rhinoceros, Black rhinoceros and Visual field with his study of Ganglion.
