Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of investigation include Gap junction, Connexin, Cell biology, Neuroscience and Biophysics. The concepts of his Gap junction study are interwoven with issues in Cytoplasm, Ion channel, Cell junction and Cell signaling. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Molecular biology, Gating and Electrical synapse.

Michael V. L. Bennett has included themes like NMDA receptor, Receptor, Long-term potentiation, Neurotransmission and Transfection in his Cell biology study. He has researched Neuroscience in several fields, including Synaptic plasticity, Glutamate receptor, Homeostasis and Pathogenesis. His Biophysics research includes elements of Extracellular, Biochemistry, Intracellular, Permeability and Anatomy.

His most cited work include:

  • Gap junctions: new tools, new answers, new questions. (861 citations)
  • ATP Released from Astrocytes Mediates Glial Calcium Waves (687 citations)
  • Electrical Coupling and Neuronal Synchronization in the Mammalian Brain (639 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Gap junction, Cell biology, Neuroscience, Biophysics and Connexin. Many of his research projects under Gap junction are closely connected to Coupling with Coupling, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His studies deal with areas such as NMDA receptor, Glutamate receptor, Xenopus and Immunology as well as Cell biology.

His Neuroscience study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Postsynaptic potential and Neurotransmission. His research in Biophysics intersects with topics in Extracellular, Biochemistry, Intracellular, Anatomy and Conductance. His work carried out in the field of Electrophysiology brings together such families of science as Depolarization and Membrane potential.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gap junction (34.67%)
  • Cell biology (26.93%)
  • Neuroscience (30.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • Cell biology (26.93%)
  • Neuroscience (30.03%)
  • Gap junction (34.67%)

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

Michael V. L. Bennett mostly deals with Cell biology, Neuroscience, Gap junction, Connexin and Pannexin. Michael V. L. Bennett has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Exocytosis, Fragile X syndrome and Immunology. His research in Neuroscience intersects with topics in Synaptic plasticity, NMDA receptor and Conditional gene knockout.

He combines subjects such as Biophysics, Cell type and Microglia with his study of Gap junction. The Gating research Michael V. L. Bennett does as part of his general Biophysics study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Nanotechnology, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cell signaling, Endocrinology, Purinergic receptor, Electrical Synapses and Internal medicine in addition to Connexin.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • ATP and glutamate released via astroglial connexin 43 hemichannels mediate neuronal death through activation of pannexin 1 hemichannels (257 citations)
  • HDAC inhibition prevents white matter injury by modulating microglia/macrophage polarization through the GSK3β/PTEN/Akt axis (195 citations)
  • Blood-brain barrier dysfunction and recovery after ischemic stroke. (186 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

Michael V. L. Bennett spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Neuroscience, Gap junction, Connexin and Pannexin. His Cell biology research includes themes of DNA- lyase and AP site. His work deals with themes such as NMDA receptor and Nucleotide excision repair, which intersect with Neuroscience.

His Gap junction research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Purinergic receptor, Cell type and Microglia. His Connexin research includes elements of Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His Pannexin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Connexon, Hypoxia and Programmed cell death.
