  • 2013 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

John E. Lisman was affiliated with Brandeis University in the United States. Their research spanned primarily the fields of Neuroscience and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Within these areas, their work focused notably on Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Developmental and Educational Psychology, and General Decision Sciences.

Lisman's research encompassed various topics including Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research, Ion channel regulation and function, Photoreceptor and optogenetics research, Neural dynamics and brain function, Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Study, Behavioral and Psychological Studies, and Decision-Making and Behavioral Economics.

The scientist contributed to several journals and publication venues, including Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, Journal of Biological Chemistry, Scientific Reports, and bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory).

Frequent co-authors in Lisman's body of work included Nathan A. Schneider, Donald B. Katz, Hyun-Jae Pi, Nicole L. Rumian, and Carolyn Nicole Brown.

Some of the notable recent papers by Lisman included:

  • Optogenetic perturbation of projections from thalamic nucleus reuniens to hippocampus disrupts spatial working memory retrieval more than encoding, 2021, Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
  • Short-term CaMKII inhibition with tatCN19o does not erase pre-formed memory in mice and is neuroprotective in pigs, 2023, Journal of Biological Chemistry
  • Parametric shift from rational to irrational decisions in mice, 2021, Scientific Reports
  • Short-term CaMKII inhibition with tatCN19o does not erase pre-formed memory and is neuroprotective in non-rodents, 2023, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Lisman was recognized as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2013.
