Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Richard Benton spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Drosophila melanogaster, Olfaction, Receptor and Ionotropic effect. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Apical membrane, Drosophila Protein and Anatomy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Epithelial polarity, Pheromone and Olfactory receptor.

Richard Benton usually deals with Olfaction and limits it to topics linked to Olfactory system and Sensory neuron and Glomerulus. His studies in Receptor integrate themes in fields like Neuroscience and Function. His Ionotropic effect study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chemosensory protein and Subfamily.

His most cited work include:

  • Variant ionotropic glutamate receptors as chemosensory receptors in Drosophila. (848 citations)
  • Atypical Membrane Topology and Heteromeric Function of Drosophila Odorant Receptors In Vivo (731 citations)
  • Ancient protostome origin of chemosensory ionotropic glutamate receptors and the evolution of insect taste and olfaction (464 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Neuroscience, Sensory system, Receptor and Drosophila melanogaster. His Cell biology research includes themes of Biochemistry, Drosophila, Drosophila Protein and Transmembrane protein. Richard Benton focuses mostly in the field of Neuroscience, narrowing it down to topics relating to Anatomy and, in certain cases, Evolutionary robotics.

His Sensory system research incorporates themes from Stimulus, Taste, Olfactory system and Nervous system. His Receptor study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Function and Protein family. His Drosophila melanogaster research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Olfaction, Ionotropic glutamate receptor and Pheromone.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (30.77%)
  • Neuroscience (31.62%)
  • Sensory system (25.64%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (16.24%)
  • Receptor (23.93%)
  • Olfactory system (19.66%)

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

Richard Benton mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Receptor, Olfactory system, Neuroscience and Sensory system. The Olfactory receptor research Richard Benton does as part of his general Receptor study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Thermosensing, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Richard Benton has included themes like Olfaction, Melanogaster, Drosophila melanogaster and Mutant protein in his Olfactory system study.

His research in Neuroscience tackles topics such as Synaptic plasticity which are related to areas like Basolateral amygdala. He works mostly in the field of Sensory system, limiting it down to concerns involving Nervous system and, occasionally, Drosophila sechellia. His research investigates the link between Protein family and topics such as Trans-acting that cross with problems in Cell biology.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Olfactory receptor and circuit evolution promote host specialization. (34 citations)
  • Ionotropic Receptors Specify the Morphogenesis of Phasic Sensors Controlling Rapid Thermal Preference in Drosophila. (34 citations)
  • In vivo assembly and trafficking of olfactory Ionotropic Receptors. (15 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Olfactory system, Evolutionary biology, Sensory system, Receptor and Sensory neuron. Richard Benton focuses mostly in the field of Olfactory system, narrowing it down to matters related to Olfaction and, in some cases, Cell biology, Pheromone, Sex pheromone and Subspecies. His Evolutionary biology study often links to related topics such as Drosophila melanogaster.

His Sensory system study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Drosophila sechellia and Nervous system. His Receptor research incorporates themes from Homologous chromosome and Neuroscience, Neuron. Richard Benton works mostly in the field of Sensory neuron, limiting it down to topics relating to Biophysics and, in certain cases, Ionotropic effect.
