Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Genetics

Kazuo Kitamura mainly focuses on Neuroscience, In vivo, Climbing fiber, Cerebellum and Biophysics. Dendritic spine and Organotypic slice are the subjects of his Neuroscience studies. In In vivo, Kazuo Kitamura works on issues like Neocortex, which are connected to Neuron.

The Climbing fiber study combines topics in areas such as Sensory stimulation therapy, Sensory system and Nerve net. His research in Nerve net intersects with topics in Synapse, Soma, Biological neural network and Dendrite. His studies deal with areas such as Kinetics, Calcium, Rational design, Analytical chemistry and Physiology as well as Biophysics.

His most cited work include:

  • A single myosin head moves along an actin filament with regular steps of 5.3 nanometres (455 citations)
  • Single Molecule Imaging of Fluorophores and Enzymatic Reactions Achieved by Objective-Type Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy (285 citations)
  • Targeted patch−clamp recordings and single−cell electroporation of unlabeled neurons in vivo (271 citations)

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

Kazuo Kitamura focuses on Neuroscience, Biophysics, Climbing fiber, Calcium imaging and Cerebellum. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Neuroscience, focusing on Anatomy and, on occasion, Photon. His work investigates the relationship between Biophysics and topics such as Microscopy that intersect with problems in Nanotechnology.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Climbing fiber, Soma is strongly linked to Nerve net. His Calcium imaging study also includes fields such as

  • Artificial intelligence that intertwine with fields like Pattern recognition,
  • Sensory system, which have a strong connection to Premovement neuronal activity. Kazuo Kitamura works mostly in the field of Purkinje cell, limiting it down to topics relating to Biological neural network and, in certain cases, Dendrite.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (75.89%)
  • Biophysics (24.11%)
  • Climbing fiber (33.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (75.89%)
  • Calcium imaging (30.36%)
  • Artificial intelligence (10.71%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Calcium imaging, Artificial intelligence, Spike and Climbing fiber. Neuroscience is a component of his Optogenetics, Neocortex, Cerebellum, Barrel cortex and Motor learning studies. His Barrel cortex research includes themes of Preclinical imaging, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Hippocampal formation and Rational engineering.

His Calcium imaging study combines topics in areas such as Biological neural network, Cerebellar Purkinje cell and Anatomy. His work on Deep learning, Resampling and Inference as part of general Artificial intelligence study is frequently linked to Noise, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Climbing fiber study is concerned with the field of Purkinje cell as a whole.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Rational Engineering of XCaMPs, a Multicolor GECI Suite for In Vivo Imaging of Complex Brain Circuit Dynamics (71 citations)
  • Rational Engineering of XCaMPs, a Multicolor GECI Suite for In Vivo Imaging of Complex Brain Circuit Dynamics (71 citations)
  • Serotonin rebalances cortical tuning and behavior linked to autism symptoms in 15q11-13 CNV mice (37 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Genetics

Kazuo Kitamura mostly deals with Neuroscience, Calcium imaging, Barrel cortex, Climbing fiber and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. Kazuo Kitamura studies Cerebellum which is a part of Neuroscience. His Cerebellum research incorporates elements of Motor behavior and Goal directed behavior.

His research integrates issues of Hippocampal formation, Rational engineering, Parvalbumin and Preclinical imaging in his study of Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. Kazuo Kitamura interconnects Biological neural network, Cerebellar Purkinje cell, Purkinje cell and Anatomy in the investigation of issues within Calcium channel. His Autism spectrum disorder research incorporates themes from Somatosensory system and Pathological.
