Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Gene
  • Neurotransmitter

Mark Farrant mainly investigates Neuroscience, GABAA receptor, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, gamma-Aminobutyric acid and Receptor. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Synaptic plasticity and Ion channel linked receptors. His work carried out in the field of Synaptic plasticity brings together such families of science as AMPA receptor and Neurotransmitter receptor.

His GABAA receptor research incorporates themes from Shunting inhibition, Tonic, Neurotransmitter, Biophysics and Neurotransmission. His work deals with themes such as Gabazine and GABA receptor, which intersect with Tonic. Mark Farrant interconnects Protein subunit and Cell biology in the investigation of issues within Receptor.

His most cited work include:

  • Variations on an inhibitory theme : phasic and tonic activation of GABA(A) receptors (1607 citations)
  • NMDA receptor subunits: Diversity, development and disease (1460 citations)
  • Neuroactive steroids reduce neuronal excitability by selectively enhancing tonic inhibition mediated by δ subunit-containing GABAA receptors (681 citations)

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

His main research concerns Neuroscience, AMPA receptor, GABAA receptor, Receptor and Glutamate receptor. His research in Neuroscience is mostly focused on Cerebellum. His research integrates issues of Biophysics, Neurotransmission, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Transmembrane protein and Intracellular in his study of AMPA receptor.

His research in GABAA receptor intersects with topics in gamma-Aminobutyric acid, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Tonic and Granule. His studies deal with areas such as Protein subunit, Transporter and Cell biology as well as Receptor. The concepts of his Glutamate receptor study are interwoven with issues in Long-term potentiation, Glutamic acid and Homomeric.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (61.45%)
  • AMPA receptor (39.76%)
  • GABAA receptor (31.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • AMPA receptor (39.76%)
  • Neuroscience (61.45%)
  • Glutamate receptor (28.92%)

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

Mark Farrant spends much of his time researching AMPA receptor, Neuroscience, Glutamate receptor, Neurotransmission and Biophysics. His AMPA receptor study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Synaptic plasticity, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Transmembrane protein. His work in the fields of Neuroscience, such as Cerebellum, intersects with other areas such as Function.

Mark Farrant has researched Neurotransmission in several fields, including Interneuron, Postsynaptic potential and Voltage-dependent calcium channel. In Interneuron, Mark Farrant works on issues like Gephyrin, which are connected to GABAA receptor. Mark Farrant usually deals with Biophysics and limits it to topics linked to Intracellular and Polyamine and Patch clamp.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • GABAergic regulation of cerebellar NG2 cell development is altered in perinatal white matter injury (111 citations)
  • Mapping the Interaction Sites between AMPA Receptors and TARPs Reveals a Role for the Receptor N-Terminal Domain in Channel Gating (48 citations)
  • An Essential Role for the Tetraspanin LHFPL4 in the Cell-Type-Specific Targeting and Clustering of Synaptic GABAA Receptors (45 citations)

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

  • Neuron
  • Gene
  • Neurotransmitter

Mark Farrant mainly investigates Neurotransmission, AMPA receptor, Cell biology, Postsynaptic potential and GABAA receptor. His Neurotransmission research integrates issues from Biophysics, Gating and Ion channel. His study explores the link between AMPA receptor and topics such as Excitatory postsynaptic potential that cross with problems in Glutamic acid.

Mark Farrant has included themes like Cerebellum, Endocrinology, gamma-Aminobutyric acid and Cellular differentiation in his GABAA receptor study. His Cerebellum study is concerned with the field of Neuroscience as a whole. His Neuroscience research incorporates elements of Synaptic plasticity, Receptor, Glutamate receptor and Protein subunit.
