What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Neuron
• Neuroscience
• Gene

Masanori Matsuzaki spends much of his time researching Dendritic spine, Dendritic filopodia, Neuroscience, Glutamate receptor and Long-term potentiation. His study on Dendritic spine is covered under Hippocampal formation. The Hippocampal formation study combines topics in areas such as Receptor, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, GABAA receptor and Cell biology.

His Dendritic filopodia study incorporates themes from AMPA receptor, Synapse and Anatomy. Neuroscience is closely attributed to Neurotransmission in his work. The study incorporates disciplines such as Synaptic plasticity, Spine apparatus and Hippocampus in addition to Long-term potentiation.

His most cited work include:

• Structural basis of long-term potentiation in single dendritic spines (1857 citations)
• Dendritic spine geometry is critical for AMPA receptor expression in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons (1211 citations)
• Structure–stability–function relationships of dendritic spines (656 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Two-photon excitation microscopy, Dendritic spine, Calcium imaging and Motor cortex. Many of his studies on Neuroscience apply to In vivo as well. His study looks at the relationship between Two-photon excitation microscopy and topics such as Caged glutamate, which overlap with Photodissociation.

His Dendritic spine research integrates issues from Glutamate receptor, AMPA receptor, Long-term potentiation and Synaptic plasticity. His work carried out in the field of Synaptic plasticity brings together such families of science as Anatomy and Dendrite. His Dendritic filopodia research includes elements of Synapse and Spine.

He most often published in these fields:

• Neuroscience (88.89%)
• Two-photon excitation microscopy (35.56%)
• Dendritic spine (33.33%)

• Neuroscience (88.89%)
• Calcium imaging (30.00%)
• Motor cortex (23.33%)

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

Masanori Matsuzaki focuses on Neuroscience, Calcium imaging, Motor cortex, Motor learning and Forelimb. All of his Neuroscience and Premovement neuronal activity, Neocortex, Primary motor cortex, Cerebellum and Goal directed behavior investigations are sub-components of the entire Neuroscience study. His work carried out in the field of Primary motor cortex brings together such families of science as Dendritic spine, Motor skill and Synaptic plasticity.

His Calcium imaging study combines topics in areas such as Climbing fiber, Sensory system, Two-photon excitation microscopy and Microscopy. His research integrates issues of Axon, Postsynaptic potential and Thalamus in his study of Motor learning. His Forelimb study deals with Optogenetics intersecting with Motor control.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Two-photon imaging of neuronal activity in motor cortex of marmosets during upper-limb movement tasks. (24 citations)
• Thalamocortical Axonal Activity in Motor Cortex Exhibits Layer-Specific Dynamics during Motor Learning (23 citations)
• Super-wide-field two-photon imaging with a micro-optical device moving in post-objective space. (23 citations)

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

• Neuron
• Neuroscience
• Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Motor cortex, Calcium imaging, Two-photon excitation microscopy and Motor learning. His study on Forelimb, Cognition and Optogenetics is often connected to Population and Deep cerebellar nuclei as part of broader study in Neuroscience. His Cognition study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Premovement neuronal activity.

His Optogenetics research integrates issues from Brain stimulation, Axon and Postsynaptic potential. Population is connected with Microscopy, Wide field, Sensory system and Neuron in his research. His Deep cerebellar nuclei study overlaps with Basal ganglia, Neocortex, Thalamus, Striatum and Cerebellum.
