Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Classical conditioning, Cerebellum, Hippocampus and Eyeblink conditioning. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Long-term potentiation and Nictitating membrane. The study incorporates disciplines such as Extinction and Premovement neuronal activity in addition to Classical conditioning.

His research integrates issues of Sensory system, Conditioned response and Muscimol in his study of Cerebellum. His Hippocampus research incorporates elements of Hippocampal formation, Neurotrophic factors and Kainic acid. The various areas that Richard F. Thompson examines in his Eyeblink conditioning study include Mutant, Red nucleus, Motor coordination, Associative learning and Long-term depression.

His most cited work include:

  • Habituation: A model phenomenon for the study of neuronal substrates of behavior. (2061 citations)
  • Habituation: A dual-process theory. (1655 citations)
  • The neurobiology of learning and memory (956 citations)

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

Neuroscience, Classical conditioning, Cerebellum, Nictitating membrane and Hippocampus are his primary areas of study. His studies in Neuroscience integrate themes in fields like Eyeblink conditioning and Long-term potentiation. Within one scientific family, Richard F. Thompson focuses on topics pertaining to Synaptic plasticity under Long-term potentiation, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Long-term depression.

His Classical conditioning research includes themes of Associative learning, Anatomy and Engram. His research in Cerebellum intersects with topics in Central nervous system and Conditioned response. Richard F. Thompson combines subjects such as Hippocampal formation, Neuroplasticity and Premovement neuronal activity with his study of Hippocampus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (72.66%)
  • Classical conditioning (40.07%)
  • Cerebellum (25.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2015)?

  • Neuroscience (72.66%)
  • Cerebellum (25.47%)
  • Classical conditioning (40.07%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Cerebellum, Classical conditioning, Eyeblink conditioning and Cerebellar cortex. His Neuroscience study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Synaptic plasticity and Long-term potentiation. The Cerebellum study combines topics in areas such as Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, Neurotrophic factors, Conditioning and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential.

His studies deal with areas such as Fear conditioning, Amygdala, Nucleus, Engram and Cognitive science as well as Classical conditioning. Richard F. Thompson combines subjects such as Eyelid Conditioning, Motor cortex, Complementary DNA, Differential display and Peptide sequence with his study of Eyeblink conditioning. His work deals with themes such as Sensory system and Cortex, which intersect with Cerebellar cortex.

Between 1997 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Habituation revisited: an updated and revised description of the behavioral characteristics of habituation. (805 citations)
  • Neural substrates of eyeblink conditioning: acquisition and retention. (521 citations)
  • 17β-Estradiol Enhances NMDA Receptor-Mediated EPSPs and Long-Term Potentiation (452 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Cerebellum, Classical conditioning, Eyeblink conditioning and Long-term potentiation. His Associative learning, Hippocampus, Amygdala, Central nervous system and Habituation study are his primary interests in Neuroscience. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stargazer, Biochemistry and Excitatory postsynaptic potential.

His research in Classical conditioning intersects with topics in Memoria, Cognition, Lobe and Premovement neuronal activity. The concepts of his Eyeblink conditioning study are interwoven with issues in Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Synapse maturation, AMPA receptor, gamma-Aminobutyric acid and Calcium channel. His Long-term potentiation study combines topics in areas such as Hippocampal formation, Endocrinology, Synaptic plasticity and Nervous system.
