Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Neuroscience

Drosophila melanogaster, Genetics, Drosophilidae, Gene and Neuroscience are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Drosophila melanogaster brings together such families of science as Sleep in non-human animals and Endocrinology. His study brings together the fields of Courtship and Genetics.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Regulator gene, Transgene, Protein kinase A, cGMP-dependent protein kinase and Complementary DNA. He focuses mostly in the field of Gene, narrowing it down to topics relating to Identification and, in certain cases, Candidate gene. In the subject of general Neuroscience, his work in Arousal, Electrophysiology and Nerve net is often linked to Connectomics and Function, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His most cited work include:

  • Correlates of Sleep and Waking in Drosophila melanogaster (913 citations)
  • Natural behavior polymorphism due to a cGMP-dependent protein kinase of Drosophila. (469 citations)
  • Courtship in Drosophila. (462 citations)

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

Ralph J. Greenspan spends much of his time researching Genetics, Neuroscience, Gene, Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila. His studies examine the connections between Genetics and genetics, as well as such issues in Cell biology, with regards to Cell fate determination. His study in the field of Brain activity and meditation, Sensory system, Local field potential and Arousal is also linked to topics like Connectomics.

His Gene study deals with Molecular biology intersecting with Complementary DNA, Promoter, Signal peptide and Peptide sequence. His Drosophila melanogaster study combines topics in areas such as Sleep in non-human animals, Endocrinology and Courtship. His research in Drosophila intersects with topics in Transgene, Communication, Dopamine, Behavioural genetics and Odor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (34.17%)
  • Neuroscience (30.83%)
  • Gene (22.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Neuroscience (30.83%)
  • Brain activity and meditation (9.17%)
  • Genetics (34.17%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Brain activity and meditation, Genetics, Drosophila and Context. His Sensory system and Neurotechnology study in the realm of Neuroscience interacts with subjects such as Connectomics, Information flow and Functional connectome. His Brain activity and meditation research includes themes of Biological neural network, Cognitive science, Imaging brain, Neural activity and Brain mapping.

His work on Gene, Molecular genetics and Allele as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Transgenerational epigenetics and Inheritance, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Drosophila research incorporates elements of Neuroimaging, Wild type, Dopamine and Principal component analysis. He merges many fields, such as Extramural and Drosophila melanogaster, in his writings.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The Brain Activity Map Project and the Challenge of Functional Connectomics (406 citations)
  • The Brain Activity Map (153 citations)
  • A Comprehensive Wiring Diagram of the Protocerebral Bridge for Visual Information Processing in the Drosophila Brain (129 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Neuroscience

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Brain activity and meditation, Gene, Connectomics and Jellyfish. In general Neuroscience, his work in Sensory system, Neuropil, Odor and Computational neuroscience is often linked to Information flow linking many areas of study. His Brain activity and meditation study incorporates themes from Drosophila, Neural activity, Biological neural network and Brain mapping.

Ralph J. Greenspan combines subjects such as Drosophila melanogaster, Cognitive neuroscience and Imaging brain with his study of Neural activity. His studies deal with areas such as Action, Cognition, Magnetoencephalography, Human brain and Hippocampus as well as Biological neural network. His research on Gene concerns the broader Genetics.
