Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Surgery

Peter Ashby mainly investigates Neuroscience, Motor cortex, Subthalamic nucleus, Electromyography and Stimulation. He combines subjects such as Deep brain stimulation and Anatomy with his study of Neuroscience. He has researched Motor cortex in several fields, including Electrophysiology, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Motor unit, Motor neuron and Forearm.

His study explores the link between Subthalamic nucleus and topics such as Basal ganglia that cross with problems in Degenerative disease, Limb dystonia, Cerebral cortex and Hyperreflexia. His research investigates the connection between Electromyography and topics such as Stimulus that intersect with issues in Neurophysiology, Central nervous system disease and Parkinsonism. His research in Parkinson's disease intersects with topics in Premovement neuronal activity, Brain stimulation, Globus pallidus, Neurosurgery and Local field potential.

His most cited work include:

  • Dependence of subthalamic nucleus oscillations on movement and dopamine in Parkinson's disease. (552 citations)
  • Cortical-basal ganglionic degeneration (462 citations)
  • Mechanism of the silent period following transcranial magnetic stimulation. Evidence from epidural recordings. (322 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Stimulation, Motor cortex, Anatomy and Electromyography. His research integrates issues of Deep brain stimulation and Subthalamic nucleus in his study of Neuroscience. Peter Ashby interconnects Neurophysiology, Biceps and Pallidotomy in the investigation of issues within Stimulation.

His Motor cortex research incorporates themes from Electrophysiology, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Motor unit, Cortex and Muscle contraction. His Anatomy research includes elements of Botulinum toxin, Reciprocal inhibition, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Reflex. His studies in Electromyography integrate themes in fields like Anesthesia and Upper limb, Surgery, Weakness, Forearm.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (67.42%)
  • Stimulation (38.20%)
  • Motor cortex (24.72%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2007)?

  • Neuroscience (67.42%)
  • Deep brain stimulation (13.48%)
  • Subthalamic nucleus (13.48%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Deep brain stimulation, Subthalamic nucleus, Stimulation and Parkinson's disease. His is involved in several facets of Neuroscience study, as is seen by his studies on Thalamus, Motor cortex, Electromyography, Evoked potential and Electroencephalography. His Deep brain stimulation research focuses on Chronaxie and how it relates to Motor neuron, Stimulus, Cerebral cortex and Scalp.

His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Basal ganglia and Subthalamic nucleus. While the research belongs to areas of Stimulation, he spends his time largely on the problem of Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Ventral pallidum and Dyskinesia. His Parkinson's disease research integrates issues from Premovement neuronal activity, Brain stimulation, Globus pallidus, Neurosurgery and Local field potential.

Between 1999 and 2007, his most popular works were:

  • Dependence of subthalamic nucleus oscillations on movement and dopamine in Parkinson's disease. (552 citations)
  • Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease: disrupting the disruption (284 citations)
  • Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease: disrupting the disruption (284 citations)
