Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience

Liqun Luo mainly investigates Neuroscience, Cell biology, Neuron, Axon and Mushroom bodies. As part of his studies on Neuroscience, Liqun Luo often connects relevant areas like Anatomy. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Dendritic spine, Morphogenesis and Actin cytoskeleton.

His work carried out in the field of Neuron brings together such families of science as Sensory processing, Non-rapid eye movement sleep, Wakefulness, Optogenetics and Neurogenesis. He works mostly in the field of Axon, limiting it down to topics relating to Nervous system and, in certain cases, Dendrite. The various areas that Liqun Luo examines in his Mushroom bodies study include Metamorphosis and Drosophila, MARCM.

His most cited work include:

  • A global double‐fluorescent Cre reporter mouse (2135 citations)
  • A global double‐fluorescent Cre reporter mouse (2135 citations)
  • Mosaic analysis with a repressible cell marker for studies of gene function in neuronal morphogenesis. (2127 citations)

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

Liqun Luo spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Cell biology, Axon, Olfactory system and Anatomy. His work in Olfactory receptor, Biological neural network, Neuron, Antennal lobe and Nervous system is related to Neuroscience. His Cell biology research includes elements of Genetics, Cell division and Actin cytoskeleton.

The Olfactory system study combines topics in areas such as Glomerulus and Olfactory bulb. His Anatomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mushroom bodies, Postsynaptic potential and Drosophila, MARCM. Transgene is closely attributed to Molecular biology in his work.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (72.92%)
  • Cell biology (30.46%)
  • Axon (17.23%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (72.92%)
  • Cell biology (30.46%)
  • Cell (7.08%)

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

Neuroscience, Cell biology, Cell, Olfactory receptor and Transcriptome are his primary areas of study. His research on Neuroscience often connects related areas such as Projection. His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Postsynaptic potential, Neural development, Huntingtin, Mutant and Cell division.

His work deals with themes such as Biological neural network and Receptor expression, which intersect with Olfactory receptor. His study looks at the relationship between Transcriptome and topics such as RNA, which overlap with Gene duplication and Excitatory postsynaptic potential. In his study, Sensory cue is inextricably linked to Sensory system, which falls within the broad field of Axon.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Thirst regulates motivated behavior through modulation of brainwide neural population dynamics (104 citations)
  • Thirst regulates motivated behavior through modulation of brainwide neural population dynamics (104 citations)
  • Temporal evolution of cortical ensembles promoting remote memory retrieval (80 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Extramural, Optogenetics, Cerebellum and Cortex. His Neuroscience study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Cell type. His research integrates issues of Electrophysiology, Premovement neuronal activity, Sensory input, Sensory cue and Thirst in his study of Optogenetics.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neocortex, Cognition and Motor control. The study incorporates disciplines such as PL activity, Prefrontal cortex and Fear memory in addition to Cortex. He has researched Nervous system in several fields, including Gene duplication, Cell, Brain function and Genomics.
