Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Hippocampus
  • Cognition

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Long-term potentiation, Synaptic plasticity, Hippocampus and Hippocampal formation. Particularly relevant to Memory consolidation is his body of work in Neuroscience. Richard G. M. Morris studied Long-term potentiation and NMDA receptor that intersect with Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Memory impairment.

The concepts of his Hippocampus study are interwoven with issues in Spatial view cells, Context and Locus coeruleus. His study looks at the intersection of Spatial view cells and topics like Perforant path with Morris water navigation task. His work on Water maze is typically connected to Learning experience as part of general Hippocampal formation study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Developments of a water-maze procedure for studying spatial learning in the rat (5505 citations)
  • Place navigation impaired in rats with hippocampal lesions (5321 citations)
  • Selective impairment of learning and blockade of long-term potentiation by an N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, AP5 (3126 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Long-term potentiation, Hippocampus, Hippocampal formation and Synaptic plasticity. His research in Neuroscience intersects with topics in NMDA receptor and Metaplasticity, Synaptic tagging. His Long-term potentiation research incorporates elements of Postsynaptic potential, Glutamate receptor, Neurotransmission, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Long-term depression.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Ibotenic acid and Dopamine in addition to Hippocampus. Richard G. M. Morris combines topics linked to AMPA receptor with his work on Hippocampal formation. His work carried out in the field of Spatial learning brings together such families of science as Developmental psychology and Reference memory.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (71.73%)
  • Long-term potentiation (29.32%)
  • Hippocampus (31.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (71.73%)
  • Long-term potentiation (29.32%)
  • Cognitive psychology (10.47%)

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

Richard G. M. Morris spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Long-term potentiation, Cognitive psychology, Hippocampus and Memory consolidation. He is involved in the study of Neuroscience that focuses on Hippocampal formation in particular. Neuroplasticity and Glutamate receptor is closely connected to Synaptic plasticity in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Long-term potentiation.

In general Cognitive psychology, his work in Encoding, Schema and Recall is often linked to Content-addressable memory linking many areas of study. Richard G. M. Morris has researched Hippocampus in several fields, including Dopaminergic, Dopamine, Ventral tegmental area and Function. His Memory consolidation study also includes

  • Novelty which intersects with area such as Cognition, Forgetting and Immediate early gene,
  • Cognitive science that connect with fields like Surprise.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Locus coeruleus and dopaminergic consolidation of everyday memory (329 citations)
  • The synaptic plasticity and memory hypothesis: encoding, storage and persistence. (316 citations)
  • NMDA receptors and memory encoding (170 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Hippocampus
  • Cognition

Richard G. M. Morris mostly deals with Neuroscience, Long-term potentiation, Hippocampal formation, Memory consolidation and Hippocampus. He interconnects Neuronal memory allocation and Metaplasticity in the investigation of issues within Neuroscience. His research on Long-term potentiation also deals with topics like

  • NMDA receptor that intertwine with fields like Function, Cingulate cortex, Working memory and Water maze,
  • Synaptic plasticity which intersects with area such as Neuroplasticity.

Richard G. M. Morris interconnects Neocortex, Dopaminergic, Communication and Locus coeruleus in the investigation of issues within Hippocampal formation. His research in Memory consolidation intersects with topics in Concept learning, Novelty, Cognitive science and Cognitive neuroscience. His research integrates issues of Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Young adult, Similarity, Set and Physical exercise in his study of Hippocampus.
