Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Neuroscience

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Synaptic plasticity, Neurotransmission, Long-term potentiation and Metaplasticity. His work carried out in the field of Neuroscience brings together such families of science as Glutamate receptor and Long-term depression. His Neurotransmission study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Rab3A GTP-Binding Protein, Hippocampal mossy fiber, Mossy fiber and Cell biology.

His Cell biology research includes themes of Synapsin, Active zone and Neurotransmitter. His Long-term potentiation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as NMDA receptor and Protein kinase A. His Metaplasticity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Synaptic fatigue and Endocannabinoid system.

His most cited work include:

  • Mice Lacking α-Synuclein Display Functional Deficits in the Nigrostriatal Dopamine System (1431 citations)

  • Cell biology (29.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (76.67%)
  • Inhibitory postsynaptic potential (20.00%)
  • Postsynaptic potential (16.67%)

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

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Postsynaptic potential, Hippocampal formation and Cell biology. His Neuroscience research incorporates elements of Synaptic plasticity, Long-term potentiation, Neurotransmission and Metabotropic glutamate receptor. His biological study focuses on Metaplasticity.

Within one scientific family, Pablo E. Castillo focuses on topics pertaining to Hippocampus under Neurotransmission, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Kainate receptor, Glutamate receptor and Kainic acid. His research in Hippocampal formation focuses on subjects like Endocannabinoid system, which are connected to Prefrontal cortex. His work focuses on many connections between Cell biology and other disciplines, such as Protein biosynthesis, that overlap with his field of interest in Cannabinoid receptor.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Long-Term Plasticity of Neurotransmitter Release: Emerging Mechanisms and Contributions to Brain Function and Disease. (43 citations)
  • Npas4 Is a Critical Regulator of Learning-Induced Plasticity at Mossy Fiber-CA3 Synapses during Contextual Memory Formation (30 citations)
  • Modulation of NMDA Receptors by G-protein-coupled receptors: Role in Synaptic Transmission, Plasticity and Beyond. (5 citations)

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

  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Internal medicine

Neuroscience, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Hippocampal formation, Synaptic plasticity and Long-term potentiation are his primary areas of study. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Metaplasticity and G protein-coupled receptor. His study in Inhibitory postsynaptic potential is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Protein biosynthesis, Neurotransmitter, Neurotransmitter Agents and Cell biology.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Postsynaptic potential and Cannabinoid receptor. His Synaptic plasticity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biological neural network, Neuroplasticity and Excitatory postsynaptic potential. The study incorporates disciplines such as Neuromodulation, Glutamatergic, NMDA receptor and Neurotransmission in addition to Long-term potentiation.
