Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

Neuroscience, Potassium channel, Retina, Molecular biology and Cell biology are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Neuroscience brings together such families of science as Neurological Mutant Mouse, Mutant and K channels. His Potassium channel study improves the overall literature in Biophysics.

His Retina research includes themes of Extracellular, Retinal and Astrocyte. His studies deal with areas such as Gene isoform, Sequence analysis, Gene, Exon and Patch clamp as well as Molecular biology. His Cell biology research focuses on Inward-rectifier potassium ion channel and how it relates to G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium channel, G protein and Membrane potential.

His most cited work include:

  • Potassium buffering in the central nervous system (602 citations)
  • Genetic Inactivation of an Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channel (Kir4.1 Subunit) in Mice: Phenotypic Impact in Retina (384 citations)
  • Ethanol sensitivity of the GABAA receptor expressed in xenopus oocytes requires 8 amino acids contained in the γ2L subunit (330 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Cell biology, Potassium channel, Retina and Biophysics. In his research on the topic of Neuroscience, Neuron, Synaptic plasticity and Nucleus accumbens is strongly related with Neurotransmission. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mutant, Knockout mouse, Suprachiasmatic nucleus and Transfection.

His work carried out in the field of Potassium channel brings together such families of science as Patch clamp, Electrophysiology, Extracellular, Biochemistry and Inward-rectifier potassium ion channel. The Retina study which covers Neuroglia that intersects with Cell membrane. Paulo Kofuji interconnects Na+/K+-ATPase and Calcium in the investigation of issues within Biophysics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (39.51%)
  • Cell biology (30.86%)
  • Potassium channel (25.93%)

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

  • Neuroscience (39.51%)
  • Neurotransmission (9.88%)
  • Astrocyte (12.35%)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Neurotransmission, Astrocyte, Gliotransmitter and Neuron. His research in Neurotransmission intersects with topics in Synaptic plasticity and Nucleus accumbens. His study in Astrocyte is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biological neural network, Stimulation and Metabotropic glutamate receptor.

His Stimulation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Somatosensory system, Calcium, Dopaminergic, Dopamine and Optogenetics. His Intracellular research is under the purview of Cell biology. His Cell biology research focuses on subjects like Receptor, which are linked to Adrenal cortex.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • G i/o protein-coupled receptors inhibit neurons but activate astrocytes and stimulate gliotransmission (46 citations)
  • Dopamine-Evoked Synaptic Regulation in the Nucleus Accumbens Requires Astrocyte Activity. (40 citations)
  • Opioid-Mediated Astrocyte–Neuron Signaling in the Nucleus Accumbens (17 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrocyte, Nucleus accumbens, Neurotransmission, Gliotransmitter and Neuroscience. His Astrocyte research includes elements of G protein-coupled receptor, Optogenetics and Calcium imaging. He is doing genetic studies as part of his Cell biology and Receptor and G protein-coupled receptor investigations.

His study brings together the fields of Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Cell biology. His work deals with themes such as Amphetamine, Dopaminergic, Dopamine and Stimulation, which intersect with Optogenetics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Glutamate receptor, Receptor expression and Neuron in addition to Calcium imaging.
