Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Biochemistry

Kristin Scott focuses on Neuroscience, Taste, Sensory system, Drosophila Protein and Biochemistry. Her study in Neuroscience is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Proboscis and Anatomy. The various areas that Kristin Scott examines in her Anatomy study include Chemoreceptor and Sex pheromone.

Kristin Scott performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Taste and Functional Map via her papers. Her work in the fields of Sensory system, such as Sensory receptor, overlaps with other areas such as Food acceptance. Her Biochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Neuron and Cell biology.

Her most cited work include:

  • Motor control in a Drosophila taste circuit. (403 citations)
  • Taste Representations in the Drosophila Brain (363 citations)
  • Imaging Taste Responses in the Fly Brain Reveals a Functional Map of Taste Category and Behavior (289 citations)

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

Kristin Scott mainly investigates Neuroscience, Taste, Sensory system, Drosophila and Feeding behavior. Her Neuroscience research incorporates elements of GABAergic and Anatomy. As a member of one scientific family, Kristin Scott mostly works in the field of Anatomy, focusing on Sex pheromone and, on occasion, Chemoreceptor.

Taste is a subfield of Biochemistry that Kristin Scott investigates. Kristin Scott combines topics linked to Endocrine system with her work on Sensory system. Her Feeding behavior study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Muscle contraction and Behavioral plasticity.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (112.50%)
  • Taste (67.86%)
  • Sensory system (57.14%)

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

  • Neuroscience (112.50%)
  • Taste (67.86%)
  • Sensory system (57.14%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Taste, Sensory system, Odor and Biological neural network. Kristin Scott is involved in the study of Neuroscience that focuses on Associative learning in particular. Her Associative learning study incorporates themes from Stimulus, Taste aversion, Period, Aversive Stimulus and Feeding behavior.

The various areas that Kristin Scott examines in her Taste study include Olfaction, Food intake and Endocrine system. Her study in Sensory system is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Optogenetics and Cell biology. Her Biological neural network study combines topics in areas such as Sensory input, Sensory processing, Juvenile hormone and Gustatory system.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Gustatory Processing in Drosophila melanogaster. (56 citations)
  • A subset of octopaminergic neurons that promotes feeding initiation in Drosophila melanogaster (19 citations)
  • A subset of octopaminergic neurons that promotes feeding initiation in Drosophila melanogaster (19 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Biochemistry
  • Neuron

Kristin Scott spends much of her time researching Neuroscience, Biological neural network, Octopamine, Gene knockdown and Sensory Receptor Cells. She works on Neuroscience which deals in particular with Visual projection. The concepts of her Biological neural network study are interwoven with issues in Sensory processing, Sensory input, Taste, Gustatory system and Olfaction.

She incorporates a variety of subjects into her writings, including Octopamine, Drosophila Protein, Sensory system, Calcium imaging, Optogenetics and Cell biology.
