Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Electromyography

His primary scientific interests are in Motor unit, Neuroscience, Electromyography, Transcranial magnetic stimulation and Motor cortex. His research integrates issues of Strength training, Communication, Muscle fatigue and Muscle contraction in his study of Motor unit. The Electromyography study combines topics in areas such as Internal medicine, Electrophysiology and Anatomy.

He combines subjects such as Motor skill, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Motor learning, Aerobic exercise and Neuroplasticity with his study of Transcranial magnetic stimulation. The various areas that John G. Semmler examines in his Physical medicine and rehabilitation study include Index finger and Pyramidal tracts. Motor cortex is often connected to Audiology in his work.

His most cited work include:

  • Mechanisms that contribute to differences in motor performance between young and old adults (427 citations)
  • Training adaptations in the behavior of human motor units (239 citations)
  • Motor unit discharge and force tremor in skill- and strength-trained individuals (190 citations)

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

John G. Semmler spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Motor cortex, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Motor unit. Many of his research projects under Neuroscience are closely connected to Chemistry with Chemistry, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His studies in Transcranial magnetic stimulation integrate themes in fields like Evoked potential, Audiology and Motor skill.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Physical therapy, Contraction and Elbow in addition to Physical medicine and rehabilitation. His Motor unit research includes elements of Muscle contraction and Isometric exercise. His Isometric exercise research incorporates elements of Electrophysiology, Coactivation, Electromyography and Index finger.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (40.83%)
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (39.17%)
  • Motor cortex (29.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (39.17%)
  • Audiology (19.17%)
  • Neuroscience (40.83%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Audiology, Neuroscience, Primary motor cortex and Electroencephalography. His study in Transcranial magnetic stimulation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Motor cortex, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Evoked potential. His work on Intracortical facilitation as part of general Motor cortex study is frequently linked to Pulse, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Physical medicine and rehabilitation research includes themes of Isometric exercise and Ageing. His Isometric exercise research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Index finger, Muscle fatigue and Motor skill acquisition. His research brings together the fields of Clinical evidence and Neuroscience.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Age-related changes in late I-waves influence motor cortex plasticity induction in older adults. (13 citations)
  • Acute Exercise at Different Intensities Influences Corticomotor Excitability and Performance of a Ballistic Thumb Training Task. (11 citations)
  • Intermittent single-joint fatiguing exercise reduces TMS-EEG measures of cortical inhibition. (9 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Neurology

John G. Semmler mostly deals with Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Neuroscience, Neuroplasticity, Intracortical inhibition and Motor cortex. The various areas that John G. Semmler examines in his Transcranial magnetic stimulation study include Evoked potential and Audiology. His Evoked potential research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ballistic training, Aerobic exercise and Disinhibition.

The study of Neuroplasticity is intertwined with the study of Physical medicine and rehabilitation in a number of ways. His Intracortical inhibition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Stimulus and Interstimulus interval. His Motor cortex study incorporates themes from Facilitation and Ageing.
