Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience
  • Neurotransmitter

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Long-term potentiation, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, SK channel and NMDA receptor. His study in Neuroscience is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Long-term depression and Neurotransmission. His Long-term potentiation research includes elements of Glutamatergic and Neuron.

The concepts of his Excitatory postsynaptic potential study are interwoven with issues in Postsynaptic potential and CNQX. His SK channel study combines topics in areas such as Calcium-activated potassium channel, BK channel and Apamin. In his research on the topic of NMDA receptor, Anatomy is strongly related with Glutamate receptor.

His most cited work include:

  • The Amygdaloid Complex: Anatomy and Physiology (1191 citations)
  • Ca2+-activated K+ currents in neurones: types, physiological roles and modulation (827 citations)
  • Analysis of excitatory synaptic action in pyramidal cells using whole-cell recording from rat hippocampal slices. (434 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Amygdala, Basolateral amygdala, Long-term potentiation and Synaptic plasticity. His Neuroscience research integrates issues from Biophysics, Long-term depression and Neurotransmission. As part of the same scientific family, Pankaj Sah usually focuses on Amygdala, concentrating on Hippocampus and intersecting with Prefrontal cortex.

His work deals with themes such as Sensory system, Biological neural network, Interneuron, Associative learning and Parvalbumin, which intersect with Basolateral amygdala. His Synaptic plasticity research incorporates elements of AMPA receptor and Memory consolidation. His Excitatory postsynaptic potential research includes themes of Glutamatergic and Postsynaptic potential.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (85.43%)
  • Amygdala (26.63%)
  • Basolateral amygdala (22.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (85.43%)
  • Amygdala (26.63%)
  • Basolateral amygdala (22.11%)

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

Neuroscience, Amygdala, Basolateral amygdala, Prefrontal cortex and Hippocampus are his primary areas of study. As part of his studies on Neuroscience, he often connects relevant subjects like Anxiety. His Basolateral amygdala study also includes fields such as

  • Associative learning, which have a strong connection to Long-term potentiation,
  • Hippocampal formation, which have a strong connection to Local field potential and Neurotrophic factors.

He works mostly in the field of Long-term potentiation, limiting it down to topics relating to Synaptic plasticity and, in certain cases, Postsynaptic potential. The various areas that Pankaj Sah examines in his Prefrontal cortex study include Endocrinology, Voltage-dependent calcium channel, vitamin D deficiency, Secosteroid and Extinction. The Hippocampus study which covers Anesthesia that intersects with Electrophysiology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hippocampus-driven feed-forward inhibition of the prefrontal cortex mediates relapse of extinguished fear. (90 citations)
  • Excitatory connections between the prelimbic and infralimbic medial prefrontal cortex show a role for the prelimbic cortex in fear extinction. (35 citations)
  • Evidence for newly generated interneurons in the basolateral amygdala of adult mice. (35 citations)

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

  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience
  • Neurotransmitter

Pankaj Sah spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Amygdala, Basolateral amygdala, Anxiety and Optogenetics. In his works, Pankaj Sah undertakes multidisciplinary study on Neuroscience and Neurodegeneration. The Amygdala study combines topics in areas such as Neuron and Emotional processing.

His work carried out in the field of Basolateral amygdala brings together such families of science as Associative learning, Precursor cell, Patch clamp and Sensory system. The concepts of his Associative learning study are interwoven with issues in Synaptic plasticity and Long-term potentiation. Pankaj Sah has researched Optogenetics in several fields, including GABA receptor, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Postsynaptic potential.
