Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Ecology
  • Anatomy

Kenneth C. Catania spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Somatosensory system, Anatomy, Sensory system and Cortex. His study in the field of Macaque is also linked to topics like Brain size. His Somatosensory system research integrates issues from Somatosensory evoked potential, Forelimb and Primate.

His Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Spinal cord injury, Spinal cord, Receptive field and Central nervous system. His Sensory system research incorporates elements of Neocortex and Auditory cortex. His studies in Cortex integrate themes in fields like Tongue, Mole, Afferent and Cortical magnification.

His most cited work include:

  • Development of Partner Preferences in Female Prairie Voles (Microtus ochrogaster): The Role of Social and Sexual Experience (347 citations)
  • Hypersensitivity to contact inhibition provides a clue to cancer resistance of naked mole-rat (240 citations)
  • Deactivation and reactivation of somatosensory cortex after dorsal spinal cord injury (165 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Anatomy, Neuroscience, Somatosensory system, Sensory system and Star-nosed mole. His Anatomy study combines topics in areas such as Mole, Receptive field and Cortex. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Naked mole-rat and Predation.

He has researched Somatosensory system in several fields, including Neocortex, Nucleus, Sorex palustris, Forelimb and Incisor. His study looks at the relationship between Sensory system and topics such as Olfaction, which overlap with Communication. His Star-nosed mole research incorporates themes from Appendage, Snout and Nose.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anatomy (50.00%)
  • Neuroscience (42.24%)
  • Somatosensory system (40.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (42.24%)
  • Predation (12.93%)
  • Anatomy (50.00%)

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

Kenneth C. Catania mostly deals with Neuroscience, Predation, Anatomy, Electric organ and Electric fish. His work on Cerebral cortex and Olfactory system as part of general Neuroscience research is frequently linked to Glires, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work in Predation covers topics such as Motor neuron which are related to areas like Venom, Muscle contraction and Neuromuscular junction.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Mole, Somatosensory system, Sensory system and Star-nosed mole in addition to Anatomy. The various areas that Kenneth C. Catania examines in his Somatosensory system study include Neocortex, Cortex, Olfaction, Eastern mole and Sniffing. His Electric fish study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecology and Electroreception.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mammalian Brains Are Made of These: A Dataset of the Numbers and Densities of Neuronal and Nonneuronal Cells in the Brain of Glires, Primates, Scandentia, Eulipotyphlans, Afrotherians and Artiodactyls, and Their Relationship with Body Mass. (90 citations)
  • The shocking predatory strike of the electric eel. (44 citations)
  • Leaping eels electrify threats, supporting Humboldt’s account of a battle with horses (27 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine

Kenneth C. Catania mainly investigates Neuroscience, Predation, Electric organ, Glires and Electric field. His study in Insectivora extends to Neuroscience with its themes. His work carried out in the field of Predation brings together such families of science as Motor neuron, Muscle contraction and Electric fish.

His Electric organ research encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Fishing, Fishery, Battle, South american and Engineering. Kenneth C. Catania integrates several fields in his works, including Glires, Biological evolution, Scandentia, Body size, Brain size and Cell size.
