Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience
  • Synapse

Kristen M. Harris focuses on Dendritic spine, Neuroscience, Dendritic filopodia, Synapse and Postsynaptic density. Hippocampal formation covers Kristen M. Harris research in Dendritic spine. She integrates Neuroscience and CREB in cognition in her studies.

Her research investigates the connection with Dendritic filopodia and areas like Cell biology which intersect with concerns in Neuronal memory allocation. Her research investigates the connection between Synapse and topics such as Neuropil that intersect with problems in Pyramidal cell and Synaptogenesis. Her studies deal with areas such as Cerebellum, Biophysics, Synaptic vesicle and Endoplasmic reticulum as well as Postsynaptic density.

Her most cited work include:

  • Three-dimensional structure of dendritic spines and synapses in rat hippocampus (CA1) at postnatal day 15 and adult ages: implications for the maturation of synaptic physiology and long-term potentiation. (936 citations)
  • DENDRITIC SPINES: CELLULAR SPECIALIZATIONS IMPARTING BOTH STABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY TO SYNAPTIC FUNCTION (873 citations)
  • Dendritic spines of CA 1 pyramidal cells in the rat hippocampus: serial electron microscopy with reference to their biophysical characteristics (866 citations)

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

Neuroscience, Dendritic spine, Hippocampal formation, Synapse and Hippocampus are her primary areas of study. The concepts of her Neuroscience study are interwoven with issues in Metaplasticity and Synaptic vesicle. Kristen M. Harris combines subjects such as Anatomy, Spine, Postsynaptic density and Cell biology with her study of Dendritic spine.

Her work deals with themes such as Fixation, Biophysics, Stimulation and Biomedical engineering, which intersect with Hippocampal formation. She interconnects Pyramidal cell and Dendrite in the investigation of issues within Synapse. Her Hippocampus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ultrastructure and Tripartite synapse.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (62.68%)
  • Dendritic spine (51.41%)
  • Hippocampal formation (40.14%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (62.68%)
  • Hippocampal formation (40.14%)
  • Hippocampus (26.76%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Hippocampal formation, Hippocampus, Dendritic spine and Synapse. Neuroscience is closely attributed to Metaplasticity in her research. The Hippocampal formation study combines topics in areas such as Electron microscope, Biophysics, Developmental profile and Differential.

Her Hippocampus research includes themes of Stimulation and Cell biology. Her Dendritic spine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Neuroplasticity and Synaptic vesicle. Her research in Synapse intersects with topics in Pyramidal cell, Aplysia and Dendrite.

Between 2011 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Ultrastructure of Synapses in the Mammalian Brain (250 citations)
  • Structural Components of Synaptic Plasticity and Memory Consolidation. (197 citations)
  • Nanoconnectomic upper bound on the variability of synaptic plasticity (158 citations)

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

  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience
  • Neurotransmitter

Her primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Dendritic spine, Cell biology, Hippocampus and Hippocampal formation. Neuroscience is closely attributed to Metaplasticity in her study. Her Dendritic spine research incorporates elements of Endoplasmic reticulum, Neuroplasticity, Synaptic vesicle and Anatomy.

Her primary area of study in Cell biology is in the field of Synaptogenesis. Her work investigates the relationship between Hippocampus and topics such as Stimulation that intersect with problems in Spine apparatus and Spine. Her work in Hippocampal formation addresses subjects such as Biophysics, which are connected to disciplines such as Electron microscope, Premovement neuronal activity and Extracellular.
