Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Dopamine

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Optogenetics, Ventral tegmental area, Nucleus accumbens and Dopamine. Kay M. Tye is involved in the study of Neuroscience that focuses on Amygdala in particular. His study in the field of Channelrhodopsin is also linked to topics like Transgene.

His Ventral tegmental area research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Choline acetyltransferase, Cell type and Tyrosine hydroxylase. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dopamine receptor, Anhedonia and Calcium signaling. His research integrates issues of Antidepressant, Brain stimulation and Chronic stress in his study of Dopamine.

His most cited work include:

  • From circuits to behaviour in the amygdala (858 citations)
  • Input-specific control of reward and aversion in the ventral tegmental area (853 citations)
  • Amygdala circuitry mediating reversible and bidirectional control of anxiety (844 citations)

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

Kay M. Tye mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Optogenetics, Amygdala, Dopamine and Biological neural network. Basolateral amygdala, Nucleus accumbens, Ventral tegmental area, Prefrontal cortex and Channelrhodopsin are the primary areas of interest in his Neuroscience study. His studies deal with areas such as Autism, Electrophysiology and Stimulation as well as Optogenetics.

Kay M. Tye has researched Amygdala in several fields, including Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology, Social behavior, Punishment and Hippocampus. His work deals with themes such as Stimulus, Chronic stress and Aversive Stimulus, which intersect with Dopamine. His Biological neural network study combines topics in areas such as Disease, Addiction and Calcium imaging.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (87.29%)
  • Optogenetics (44.07%)
  • Amygdala (27.12%)

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

  • Neuroscience (87.29%)
  • Biological neural network (27.97%)
  • Calcium imaging (15.25%)

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

Kay M. Tye mainly investigates Neuroscience, Biological neural network, Calcium imaging, Cognitive science and Social isolation. His Dopamine, Prefrontal cortex, Stimulus, Amygdala and Valence study are his primary interests in Neuroscience. His Dopamine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photostimulation, Animal models of depression, Sensory system and Aversive Stimulus.

His work on Basolateral amygdala as part of general Amygdala research is frequently linked to Observational learning, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Basolateral amygdala study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Nucleus accumbens. Kay M. Tye interconnects Neuropil, Biophysics, Calcium and GCaMP in the investigation of issues within Biological neural network.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Organization of Valence-Encoding and Projection-Defined Neurons in the Basolateral Amygdala (104 citations)
  • Corticoamygdala Transfer of Socially Derived Information Gates Observational Learning (90 citations)
  • Nontoxic, double-deletion-mutant rabies viral vectors for retrograde targeting of projection neurons. (82 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Hippocampus

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Cognitive science, Brainstem, Valence and Prefrontal cortex. His work in Optogenetics, Basolateral amygdala, Amygdala, Photostimulation and Patch clamp is related to Neuroscience. His Optogenetics study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Cell biology.

His Cognitive science research includes elements of Biological neural network and Disease. His work carried out in the field of Valence brings together such families of science as Associative learning, Nucleus accumbens, Emotional processing and Channelrhodopsin. His research in Prefrontal cortex intersects with topics in Calcium imaging, Dopamine, Sensory system and Aversive Stimulus.
