Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cerebral cortex

Neuroscience, Premovement neuronal activity, Motor cortex, Supplementary motor area and Body movement are his primary areas of study. His Neuroscience research includes elements of Premotor cortex and SMA*. His Premovement neuronal activity study which covers Electromyography that intersects with Posterior parietal cortex.

His work investigates the relationship between Motor cortex and topics such as Reflex that intersect with problems in Pyramidal tracts, Proprioception, Gating and Hand position. His study in Supplementary motor area is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stimulus, Basal ganglia and Frontal lobe. Jun Tanji focuses mostly in the field of Primary motor cortex, narrowing it down to topics relating to Forelimb and, in certain cases, Laterality.

His most cited work include:

  • Neuronal activity in the primate premotor, supplementary, and precentral motor cortex during visually guided and internally determined sequential movements. (618 citations)
  • Role for Cingulate Motor Area Cells in Voluntary Movement Selection Based on Reward (580 citations)
  • Role for supplementary motor area cells in planning several movements ahead (557 citations)

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

Jun Tanji spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Premovement neuronal activity, Motor cortex, Supplementary motor area and Premotor cortex. His work deals with themes such as Dorsum and Anatomy, which intersect with Neuroscience. His study looks at the relationship between Premovement neuronal activity and fields such as Posterior parietal cortex, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His work carried out in the field of Motor cortex brings together such families of science as Central nervous system, Cortex, Motor control and Contrast. Jun Tanji interconnects Frontal lobe, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Motor learning in the investigation of issues within Supplementary motor area. He has researched Premotor cortex in several fields, including Mirror neuron and Motor plan.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (91.67%)
  • Premovement neuronal activity (35.96%)
  • Motor cortex (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2016)?

  • Neuroscience (91.67%)
  • Premovement neuronal activity (35.96%)
  • Premotor cortex (21.05%)

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

Jun Tanji focuses on Neuroscience, Premovement neuronal activity, Premotor cortex, Prefrontal cortex and Dorsum. His work on Neuroscience is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Representation. Jun Tanji has included themes like Frontal eye fields and Supplementary eye field in his Premovement neuronal activity study.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Motor cortex, Cursor, Neuronal synchrony and Primate. His study explores the link between Dorsum and topics such as Globus pallidus that cross with problems in Object and Macaque. His studies deal with areas such as Neuroplasticity, Electrophysiology and Brain mapping as well as Anterior cingulate cortex.

Between 2011 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Distinct Information Representation and Processing for Goal-Directed Behavior in the Dorsolateral and Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortex and the Dorsal Premotor Cortex (56 citations)
  • Distinct Information Representation and Processing for Goal-Directed Behavior in the Dorsolateral and Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortex and the Dorsal Premotor Cortex (56 citations)
  • Involvement of the Globus Pallidus in Behavioral Goal Determination and Action Specification (30 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Neuron

Jun Tanji mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Premotor cortex, Communication, Premovement neuronal activity and Frontal cortex. Motor cortex and Primate are the core of his Neuroscience study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Representation, Dorsolateral, Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and Information processing in addition to Communication.

Jun Tanji combines subjects such as Anterior cingulate cortex, Prefrontal cortex, Consumer neuroscience, Neuroplasticity and Brain mapping with his study of Premovement neuronal activity. His Frontal cortex research incorporates elements of Basal ganglia, Globus pallidus, Dorsum and Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
