Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Caenorhabditis elegans, Genetics, Biochemistry, Pharyngeal pumping and Cell biology. Leon Avery conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Caenorhabditis elegans and Extramural through his research. His Pharyngeal pumping study incorporates themes from Serotonin uptake, Serotonin, Nervous system and Pharynx.

His Serotonin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Peristalsis, Anatomy, Neuron types, Neuron and Stimulation. His research in Gene intersects with topics in Plasma protein binding, Ivermectin and Antinematodal agent. The study incorporates disciplines such as Model organism and Pharyngeal muscles in addition to Phenotype.

His most cited work include:

  • The Genetics of Feeding in Caenorhabditis elegans (418 citations)
  • Guanylyl cyclase expression in specific sensory neurons: A new family of chemosensory receptors (395 citations)
  • The genetics of ivermectin resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans (348 citations)

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

Leon Avery mainly investigates Caenorhabditis elegans, Cell biology, Genetics, Pharynx and Anatomy. His Caenorhabditis elegans study results in a more complete grasp of Biochemistry. The various areas that Leon Avery examines in his Cell biology study include Autophagy and Molecular biology.

His Pharynx research integrates issues from Muscle relaxation, Pharyngeal pumping and Nervous system. Leon Avery usually deals with Pharyngeal pumping and limits it to topics linked to Stimulation and Neuron types. The concepts of his Nervous system study are interwoven with issues in Serotonin, Peristalsis and Neuron.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Caenorhabditis elegans (51.11%)
  • Cell biology (28.89%)
  • Genetics (21.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2019)?

  • Caenorhabditis elegans (51.11%)
  • Cell biology (28.89%)
  • Evolutionary biology (6.67%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Caenorhabditis elegans, Cell biology, Evolutionary biology, Nematode and Motility. His studies in Caenorhabditis elegans integrate themes in fields like Signal transduction and Serotonin. Leon Avery studied Serotonin and Taste that intersect with 5-HT receptor and Nervous system.

His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Internal medicine, Neurotransmission, Anatomy and Pharyngeal muscles. His Neurotransmission study combines topics in areas such as Synapse, Neuromuscular junction and BK channel. The Pharynx research he does as part of his general Anatomy study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Laser microsurgery and Suspended particles, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Between 2011 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • C. elegans feeding. (105 citations)
  • Laser Microsurgery in Caenorhabditis elegans (94 citations)
  • Serotonin Activates Overall Feeding by Activating Two Separate Neural Pathways in Caenorhabditis elegans (75 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Caenorhabditis elegans, Cell biology, Extramural, Feeding behavior and Nervous system. His Caenorhabditis elegans study is concerned with the field of Biochemistry as a whole. Leon Avery combines subjects such as Peristalsis, Anatomy and Pharyngeal muscles with his study of Cell biology.

His work carried out in the field of Feeding behavior brings together such families of science as Food availability and Pharynx. His Nervous system study is associated with Neuroscience. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endocrinology, Pharyngeal pumping and Neurotransmission.
