His Neocortex study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Synaptic plasticity.
His research integrates issues of Electrophysiology and Postsynaptic potential in his study of Thalamus.
The Sensory system study combines topics in areas such as Reticular formation and Brainstem.
His Stimulation study incorporates themes from Positron emission tomography, Biological neural network and Frontal cortex.
His most cited work include:
- Different forms of synaptic plasticity in somatosensory and motor areas of the neocortex (302 citations)
- Cortico‐cortical connectivity of the human mid‐dorsolateral frontal cortex and its modulation by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (290 citations)
- Absence of Rapid Sensory Adaptation in Neocortex during Information Processing States (202 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Manuel A. Castro-Alamancos spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Neocortex, Thalamus, Sensory system and Chemistry.
His Barrel cortex, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Superior colliculus, Somatosensory system and Stimulation study are his primary interests in Neuroscience.
His research on Excitatory postsynaptic potential also deals with topics like
- Motor cortex which is related to area like Cortex, NMDA receptor and Anatomy,
- Disinhibition which is related to area like GABA receptor antagonist.
His study looks at the intersection of Neocortex and topics like Inhibitory postsynaptic potential with Depolarization.
His studies deal with areas such as Stimulus and Receptive field as well as Thalamus.
His Sensory system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Forebrain, Tonic firing, Information processing, Brainstem and Reticular formation.
He most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (93.67%)
- Neocortex (44.30%)
- Thalamus (41.77%)

- Barrel cortex (18.99%)
- Optogenetics (7.59%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Barrel cortex, Optogenetics, Sensory system and Thalamus.
Midbrain, Superior colliculus, Whisking in animals, GABAergic and Basal ganglia are the subjects of his Neuroscience studies.
Barrel cortex and Neocortex are commonly linked in his work.
His Neocortex research includes elements of Nerve net, NMDA receptor, Network activity, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Cortex.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Sensory system, Forebrain, Brainstem, Pretectal area and Thalamic reticular nucleus is strongly linked to Zona incerta.
His study in Thalamus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Somatosensory system and Rhythm.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Neuromodulators Produce Distinct Activated States in Neocortex (49 citations)
- Basal Ganglia Output Controls Active Avoidance Behavior (30 citations)
- Neuromodulation of whisking related neural activity in superior colliculus. (18 citations)
